In fact, when I was setting up in a photography hide to capture test images, pulling the P1000 from my bag drew audible gasps from fellow togs and birdwatchers: ‘Is that the big Nikon superzoom?’ So, the P1000 can be best described as the humble telescope of fixed-lens cameras, but how does it fare in the field during a real-world test?Īt 24mm, the P1000 does a good job of capturing vast landscape scenes. It’s as if Nikon’s R&D department sketched out the P1000’s blueprint during a well-oiled work Christmas party and created a dream specification sheet that has the power to wow. And with the P1000, Nikon can boast the biggest focal length in the class, as this camera features a125x zoom which serves up an insane 24-3000mm equivalent range. Superzooms, often called ‘all-in-ones,’ typically have DSLR-sized bodies with a fixed lens that usually offers a vast zoom range.

The past few years have seen some major releases in the full-frame mirrorless segment of the market, but the often-overlooked medium of the superzoom camera has a new champion: the Nikon P1000.
