NIKON COOLPIX P1100 DIGITAL CAMERA SUMMARY
The Nikon Coolpix P1100 Digital Camera allows you to capture incredible shots of distant subjects with sharp results, even at ultra-high super-telephoto focal lengths. Despite its impressive 125x optical zoom, the Coolpix P1100 remains compact and portable, weighing just 1,410g, so you can bring it on all of your adventures.
With a full-frame equivalent zoom range of 24-3000mm, this Coolpix model provides exceptional reach, allowing you to photograph the moon, distant wildlife, and aircraft flying overhead. As an all-in-one bridge camera it provides intuitive composition thanks to a bright 2,360k-dot electronic viewfinder and a 921k-dot vari-angle LCD monitor on the rear.
A variety of creative modes are available, including Moon Mode, Bird-Watching Mode, Time Exposure, and Multiple Exposure Mode, helping you explore different creative styles more easily. Nikon’s built-in Vibration Reduction system also helps to compensates for camera shake, allowing for steady photos and videos, even when shooting handheld at extreme focal lengths. Additionally, Macro modeenables detailed close-up photography from as little as 1cm away, making it ideal for capturing stunning shots of flowers, insects, and other detailed subjects.

UNRIVALLED 125X OPTICAL ZOOM FOR EXTREME REACH
The Nikon Coolpix P1100 continues to set the benchmark for super-telephoto photography, thanks to featuring the world’s longest zoom in a bridge camera. With a 125x optical zoom (24-3000mm equivalent) and 250x Dynamic Fine Zoom (6000mm equivalent), it captures everything from distant wildlife and aircraft to detailed shots of the moon’s surface. The bright f/2.8-8 NIKKOR lens ensures sharp results throughout the range too, with optical and digital stabilisation to minimise camera shake, which is more noticeable at these types of extreme ranges.
GREAT HANDLING AND A CONTROL RING
Nikon has refined the handling of the Coolpix P1100 with a new control ring, allowing for precise manual focus adjustments. This is especially useful when capturing subjects at extreme zoom levels, ensuring pinpoint focus accuracy of the smallest detail. Additionally, a new focus mode selector provides quick access to autofocus settings, making it easier to adapt to changing shooting conditions, such as when shooting from near to far.
The camera body includes a snap-back zoom button and comfortable side zoom control, enabling smoother control while acquiring your subject.
EXCEPTIONAL IMAGE QUALITY AND RAW SUPPORT
A 16MP sensor captures detailed images, with support for RAW (NRW) files, allowing photographers to fully edit and refine their shots during post-processing. The camera’s high ISO capabilities provide great low-light performance, and multiple shooting modes allow for creative expression, including Time-Lapse, Multiple Exposure, and Moon Mode.
ADVANCED STABILISATION FOR SHARP HANDHELD SHOTS
Capturing sharp images at 3000mm (full-frame equivalent) handheld would be nearly impossible without image stabilisation. The Coolpix P1100 features Nikon’s advanced Vibration Reduction (VR), which compensates for camera shake, providing stabilised images and videos even at extreme focal lengths. This is essential for shooting handheld wildlife, aircraft, and sports photography when the lens is zoomed right into the subject.

4K UHD VIDEO AND EXTERNAL MICROPHONE SUPPORT
The Coolpix P1100 caters to hybrid content creation, recording 4K UHD 30p with full manual control. The addition of a 3.5mm microphone input allows for external audio recording, improving sound quality for vlogs and documentary-style shooting. Slow-motion Full HD at 60p further enhances video flexibility, enabling creative footage to be captured for slow motion playback effects.

MACRO MODE FOR STUNNING CLOSE-UPS
While the P1100 excels at telephoto shooting, it’s also capable of highly detailed macro photography. The Macro Mode enables focusing as close as 1cm from your subject, making it perfect for shots of flowers, insects, and any other small objects, which capture your imagination.
FULLY ARTICULATING LCD AND HIGH-RESOLUTION EVF
Composing images is easy with the 921k-dot vari-angle LCD, which provides flexibility for high and low-angle shots. The 2.36-million-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF) also delivers a bright, high-resolution display, which is ideal for shooting in bright sunlight.
ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY AND USB-C CHARGING
With Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB-C, accessory shoe and HDMI connectivity, the P1100 is built for modern workflows. You can instantly transfer images, remotely control the camera via a smartphone, and conveniently charge via USB-C, while also adding an external Nikon fit flashgun for supplemental lighting.
The included Nikon EN-EL20A battery provides approximately 260 shots on a full charge. A single SD memory card slot also ensures broad compatibility, meaning you may already have SD cards that work with the camera, or you can easily purchase them at an affordable price.

BUILT FOR EXPLORATION
Despite its powerful zoom, the Coolpix P1100 remains compact and portable, weighing just 1,410g. A comfortable grip and well-placed controls make it ideal for extended shooting sessions, while its durable build ensures reliability in outdoor environments.
OPTIONAL DOT SIGHT FOR DISTANT SUBJECTS
The Nikon Dot Sight DF-M1 is an indispensable, compact, and foldable scope, designed to help track distant or fast-moving subjects with ease. When zooming in at extreme focal lengths, the field of view narrows, making it challenging to keep subjects in the frame. The DF-M1 projects a dot reticle, allowing photographers to track and frame distant subjects accurately, regardless of the zoom level. This is particularly useful for fast-flying birds, aircraft, and wildlife, enabling you to keep both eyes open and maintain precise composition.
