If you're going to make an all-in-one camera or compact mirrorless ILC in today's market, you'll need to do something to stand out from the crowd, and boy oh boy, has Nikon delivered with its new COOLPIX P1000 .

It took a few years, but Nikon finally topped the zoom range of its own class-leading 83x 24-2,000mm zoom Coolpix P900 -- and by a lot.

With its 24-3,000mm lens, there's no doubt you'll have the biggest zoom in the room.

With a ridiculous 83x zoom, people have used the super long lens on Nikon's Coolpix P900 to snap pics of Saturn or pull off the kind of shots you normally only see in spy movies. But apparently that wasn't good enough, so today, Nikon is announcing the new Coolpix P1000 featuring frankly ridiculous...

The Coolpix P1000 is a high-end, enthusiast-level bridge camera from Nikon. Its headline feature is its 125x optical zoom lens, which gives you a 35mm equivalent zoom range of 24-3000mm, making it unsurpassed in the market.

It's been a while since Nikon introduced a new 'ultra-zoom' to its line-up, 3 years to be precise, so the arrival of the Nikon Coolpix P1000 Bridge Camera has got people talking. The new Nikon Coolpix P1000, quite literally, reaches for the stars with a huge zoom lens that's equivalent to 24-3000mm...

125x optical zoom lens; 4K video recording; RAW; and manual modes; Large rubberised grip; Large electronic viewfinder; Good connectivity

Heavy and Huge; Poor battery life; Tripod recommended for anything over 2000mm; Image quality beyond 2000mm deteriorates

Bought this as I am going on safari so wanted a camera with a long zoom. This one is outstanding.

I've had a bit better than a week with this camera. The small sensor struggles in low light but is really quite good in adequate light. Where or how else can you get a continuous zoom in/out on a scene with such range.

Incredibly good zoom. Slow focus.

An ultimate example of “look what we can do” from Nikon, the Nikon P1000 is definitely a remarkable feat of engineering, but it’s unlikely to be of mass appeal.

The Nikon COOLPIX P1000 is a DSLR-styled super-zoom with a world-beating 125x zoom range. This is a camera that's really all about the lens. Starting at a comfortably wide 24mm, it just keeps on going, all the way to an equivalent 3000mm – that's powerful enough to take photos of the moon with the...
