If the 24-2000mm equivalent lens on the Nikon Coolpix P900 wasn`t enough for you, then we bring good news: Nikon has announced its Coolpix P1000, which brings the telephoto end up to a once unthinkable 3000mm equiv. The lens has a maximum aperture of F2.8-8, compared to F2.8-6.5 on the P900, and has both ED and Super ED elements. This monster of a lens accepts 77mm filters and has two zoom speeds.
The P1000 has dedicated moon and bird positions on the mode dial
If you use Nikon`s `Dynamic Fine Zoom` feature, the equivalent focal length rises to 6000mm (with some loss in image quality). Still not enough? If, for some reason, you need 12000mm of reach and don`t mind a substantial loss in image quality, you can use the camera`s 4X digital zoom. If you`re wondering just how large this camera is, it`s roughly 360mm / 14` long with the lens extended and weighs in at a whopping 1.4kg / 3.1lbs.
As with its predecessor, the P1000 has a 16MP, 1/2.3` sensor that offers an ISO range of 100-6400, along with Raw support, which wasn`t found on the P900 and represents a welcome addition. It can shoot continuously at 7 fps, but only for 7 shots. In a nod to its potential use cases, the P1000 has dedicated moon and bird positions on the mode dial. Photos and movies can be compared on a fully articulating LCD (which is not touch-enabled) or an 2.36M-dot OLED viewfinder.
The P1000 can also capture 4K/UHD video at 30p or 25p as well as 1080p from 60 fps down to 25 fps. The camera has a external mic input and offers manual exposure controls and clean HDMI output.
Wireless features include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the camera can be controlled via your smartphone, the new ML-L7 Bluetooth remote or the MC-DC2 wired shutter release. Battery life is rated at 250 shots per charge.
