Nikon has announced the COOLPIX P1100, a compact digital camera boasting a 125x optical zoom with superior operability. Designed for photography enthusiasts, the COOLPIX P1100 enables the capture of high-quality images whilst providing an enhanced super-telephoto experience.
Building on the legacy of its predecessor, the acclaimed COOLPIX P1000, the COOLPIX P1100 offers improved usability and advanced features. Its 125x optical zoom spans an impressive focal range of 24–3000mm, providing versatility from wide-angle to super-telephoto, while for those seeking greater reach, the Dynamic Fine Zoom pushes the zoom range to a staggering 250x (6000mm equivalent).
In addition to the extended zoom, the COOLPIX P1100 now offers improved flexibility with a selectable AF-area mode in Bird-watching mode, allowing for more precise framing. What’s more, users can assign functions to the Fn1/Fn2 buttons on the optional ML-L7 Remote Control, improving control during remote shooting.
Like the COOLPIX P1000, the new COOLPIX P1100 combines Nikon’s powerful EXPEED image processor and high-performance NIKKOR lens to deliver consistently clear image quality, at extreme zoom levels. Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) provides stabilisation equivalent to 4.0 stops, reducing camera shake and ensuring sharp, detailed results – even during hand-held shooting of distant subjects like birds or celestial bodies.
For video enthusiasts, the COOLPIX P1100 supports 4K UHD/30p recording, as well as superlapse and time-lapse movie options. With its versatile operability and compatibility with a wide range of accessories, this camera empowers users to push creative boundaries and experiment with diverse imaging possibilities.
Dirk Jasper, Product Manager at Nikon Europe, comments: “Building on the success of the COOLPIX P1000, the COOLPIX P1100 offers an expanded 125x optical zoom and improved image stabilisation, supporting photographers to capture distant moments with enhanced clarity. Whether you’re photographing wildlife, the moon, or faraway landscapes, we are proud to offer the COOLPIX P1100 for photographers looking for reliable performance, flexibility, and the creative freedom to explore new frontiers in photography.”
