Astounding zoom easily makes up for slight inconveniences

Any drawbacks with this camera are fairly minor, and I was aware of them beforehand (e.g. weight, forward-heaviness when in full zoom, difficulties stabilising image at full zoom). The pluses are absolutely fabulous, e.g. being able to capture details of a wild parrot in a tree 40m away. So far I haven't used a tripod, so the photos are softer than they would be with perfect stability, but they are still very usable for what I want, and a tripod is easy to get. It takes a grand photo of the moon.
I bought the camera to take wildlife photos to use as source material for paintings, and so far it's performing exactly as I would have wished.
One more negative is the short battery life, but I found that charging it only until the light went out was the way to get maximum battery function. Also don't zoom in and out endlessly; the length of the zoom and constant back-and-forth motion will chew up battery time. These are slight drawbacks; the camera easily deserves more than 4 stars, and I am extremely pleased with what it can do. Being able to zoom to capture details a distant raptor but also focus on a tiny moth without changing lenses makes this an amazing camera indeed.Read full review

Best all rounder

Nice camera once you get to know it. Turn image stabilizer OFF if you are using a tripod for much better photos. This setting is great while using the camera hand held, but you can do better with it off and using a tripod, especially so if you use the timer and there is zilch zero movement on the camera when it takes the shot..! It's a perfect allrounder camera bang for buck $$$$Read full review

Fantastic all round camera for stills and video.

As a professional photographer I would recommend this camera as a great all round camera. It is a bit of a compromise on still photos compared to some of the top end cameras but excellent for videos. It has an amazing zoom capacity and this means that most photo genres can be achieved without a vast array of different lenses, which would be required for nearly all other cameras.

Zoom is fantastic.

Mechanical zoom is fantastic. (But why only use a 16mp sensor ? So could be better in low light & res.)
Over all a great camera for point & shoot, price etc. Still learning the fine points eg. Timer needs to be set for each shot. [Maybe it can be dedicated?]Read full review

the best camera that i have ever owned is the nikon coolpix P1000

I like doing wild life stuff and this camera reaches out with no problem to catch distant shots witch I could not do with any other camera and I like the manual focus on this camera with the sand when in focus. I like this camera the p1000 that much that I now own 2 of them.Read full review

Full of features, great buy.

Beautiful unit sure to turn heads, a little bigger than I thought it would be but handles well.

Something special in a compact Cameron

Not that different to the P900. Important differences are the solid feel and great bright viewfinder.

Great camera

I bought this for the zoom. I’m amazed by the zoom and stability! I can take clear shots at 3000mm without having to use a tripod.

See 3 photos that I’ve taken using the zoom.
