The P1000 is a curious beast. If you absolutely need a camera with a 3000mm-equivalent lens, the fact that the P1000 is alone in offering this makes your decision easy. With a huge body, less-than-reliable autofocus, a sub-standard LCD and operational strifes, however, its appeal for anything else is more limited.

It's expensive and kind of impractical, but the crazy zoom is really fun to use.Owning a Nikon COOLPIX P1000 is a bit like owning a sports car: it's a cool camera, but it isn't very practical. It's bulky and expensive, plus it has a steep learning curve...
As the review suggests, the Nikon Coolpix P1000 isn't a regular camera. And that means it would be wrong to look at it from the same lens (pun intended) as a DSLR or mirrorless shooter. The device solves a particular need, and does that really well. The...
I really wanted to like the Nikon P1000 more than I did after shooting with it. While it's very cool to have a 3,000mm focal range at your fingertips, working with a lens that long requires a level of practice, patience and a very steady hand (and...

The P1000 is a loveable beast and an optical marvel, but it's difficult to recommend. Max zoom is rarely required in real world shooting, and the optic necessitates a small sensor with underwhelming image quality. Even so, if you're going on safari and...
Bridge cameras are loved by many and hated by others They offer a way to give you a little bit of everything all in one package – but perhaps the P1000 is trying to do just a bit too much. Now, if we were to judge the P1000 on its ability to deliver a...
The Coolpix P1000 is certainly an achievement, and the ability to capture reasonably good images at the 3000mm end marks it as unique. Its key positive attributes include very good handling, effective Vibration Reduction and a clear menu system, but in...
The Nikon P1000 is a camera oddity. It can do some seriously impressive things, but it's very much a gimmick and commands a very high asking price. Carrying around a huge camera for the one or two occasions that a 3000mm lens might come in handy isn't...
The new Nikon Coolpix P1000, quite literally, reaches for the moon and stars with one of the biggest and most in your face optical zoom we've ever seen! However, this comes with a number of unavoidable issues which includes the size and weight of the...
