COOLPIX P1000

Best PS camera out there bar none! Easy to use Need tripod for sure at anything above 1500 to get the sharpness this camera can produce. Best in JPEG.

I was looking for that extra distance for the bird in the top of the tree. I got it in this camera. It is a little heave when fully zoomed so I use a singlepod or a tripod when going for a special picture. It is easy to use and was less expensive than buying a telescope lens for my other Nikon camera. It great for a novice like me
.My only problem is I like a backup battery and so far none are available even from Nikon. Hope they get some in stock. I always want a spare battery at special occasions along with an extra card. Don´t want to miss anything.

This has been a great camera upgrade for me. I would buy it again for sure, having a great zoom and not needing to carry multiple lenses has been wonderful. I´ve had a lot of fun with it,from taking pictures of my grandson to taking pictures of the Caribbean. The scenes, auto scene, skin color with the flash and other features/settings do a great job. It is hard to get a really clear picture when zoomed in a lot, recommend using the tripod.

Using this camera for the super blood wolf moon eclipse. Easy to shoot and happy with the results.

I have a Nikon D3 and a D3s with all the lenses… They are great BUT… they are big and heavy. I have lenses from 12 to 600…. But if I make pics I have to get the right lenses with the camera. Now with the P1000 everything is there, it is lighter, and 1 piece. Yes I am missing the 12-24mm, but I got 600-3000 mm extra. And yes there are special circumstances where the other cameras are far better, but 90% of the time I am not using those special circumstances. And the 3000 mm is a dream! I visited Yellowstone National Park, nothing was too far away for me! In addition I visited Antelope Canyon, it is relative dark there, other people used tripods, I held the camera in my hand and made the pics. And the pics are a dream! Whatever reason I am unable to upload pics, but the pic I made with 24mm you can not even see the object and if I make the pic with the 3000mm from the same place the object fills up about 80% of the pic. It is incredible!!!!

I was amazed how good this camera is. I do a lot of air shows and shoot a lot of nature pictures. I got a SX60 last year and liked it but the P1000 blows it out of the water. Love the lens range and many of the other features and has worked well for me so far in nature. Air shows coming this summer. Its a fun camera to use and I can´t see this sitting a lot as it goes with me every time I go out. Still learning and enjoying it more.

I bought this camera in time to take with me on a trip to South America - especially to Patagonia and Easter Island. The tour was extensive and fast-paced. I currently have a D500 and various lenses.
However, for this type of trip, I elected to take the COOLPIX P1000 There were 28 other people on this tour. Many had various DSLR cameras and associated lenses. When they saw the ease of use and quality of pictures from this camera, they were highly impressed. Many believed that the camera should have been priced in the $2,500 to $3,000 range - they were amazed at the actual cost! I could have easily sold 5 of these camera´s, on the spot, if I had access to them!
One of the opportunities that I had was to take a picture, using the COOLPIX P1000, of a Puma, after sunset, through a bus window, at at distance, without a tripod! I am very pleased with the results!
This is a great camera!

This camera is awsome and so far the best!!
Quality is amazing i´m not a profesional but learning day by day!

I have D7100 with a large 600m lens which I love but I´m unable to hike much with it anymore. Therefore, I wanted something smaller but with the same or close capabilities. As with any new camera or lens, there is a learning curve. I miss being able to fine tune the focus so I can get the bird set to photography. I do like the dial on the lens that allows you to change the lighting (darker or lighter). HOWEVER, my big concern is that it sometimes freezes when you have it zoom all the way out. The only way to get it unfrozen is to turn if off then back on. The camera actually told me to do that once. I´m checking with my local guy to see if that is normal or I need a replacement.
