Nikon COOLPIX P1100 Digital Camera overview

Shoot at staggering distances with the 125x optical zoom COOLPIX P1100 Digital Camera from Nikon. This camera has a 16MP backside illuminated CMOS sensor and features a built-in NIKKOR lens with a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 24-3000mm. You can zoom even further with 250x Dynamic Fine digital zoom, which will give you an equivalent focal length of 6000mm. Coupled with these extreme focal lengths is Nikon’s Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction, which provides four stops of optical image stabilization, ensuring your telephoto shots are crisp and drastically reducing camera shake during handheld shooting.

Gracing the back of the camera is a 3.2″ vari-angle, 921k-dot LCD monitor and an eye-level 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder, so your subjects will always be easy to see. The camera is also capable of recording 4K UHD video at 30 fps and supports an external microphone via a 3.5mm connector.

16MP BSI CMOS Image Sensor

The backside-illuminated sensor with 16 million effective pixels can output detailed images at sensitivities between ISO 100 and 6400 and allows for captures in the newly introduced RAW (.NRW) format.

125x Optical Zoom with Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction

An absurd 24-3000mm (35mm equivalent) focal range means few, if any, objects are out of reach for your lens. Zoom is further enhanced by Dynamic Fine digital zoom, which makes the maximum focal length a ridiculous 6000mm. Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction provides four stops of optical image stabilization, so your handheld shots are crisp.

Video Capabilities

Support for UHD 4K movie at 30 fps lets users beautifully record subjects with the power of super-telephoto 3000mm equivalent. Frames from movies recorded in this format can also be saved as still images. Additionally, this system supports Clean HDMI output, which cleans the information display from the image output to an external monitor during recording.

Dual Viewing Systems

The P1100 features a bright vari-angle 3.2″ LCD display that makes composing and reviewing images and movies a breeze. Also available is the 0.39″, 2.36 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder for a more traditional shooting style.

Shooting Modes

The P1100 features a slew of shooting modes that adjust settings for different scenarios like nightscape, light trails, star trails, and the new fireworks show. The popular Moon Mode is great for shooting Earth’s closest neighbor and the Bird Mode optimizes the camera for capturing the often bright and colorful creatures, both accessible directly from the mode dial. Additionally, COOLPIX Picture Control allows adjustments in accordance with the subject, shooting situations, and intentions.

Control Ring and Snapback Button

Use the control ring at the front of the device for adjusting focus, exposure, white balance, and ISO, all from the lens barrel. Also on the barrel is a zoom toggle and a dedicated Snapback button that will make your P1100 quickly zoom out in case you lose sight of your subject at long focal lengths. Releasing the button will return the focal length to its previous position.

Built-In Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Wireless connectivity has received significant upgrades, now operating under WPA3-SAE and Bluetooth version 5.1. Nikon’s SnapBridge technology also allows for seamless photo sharing, and zoom control can be managed from a computer, smartphone, or tablet using NX Tether, or NX Field.

Optional ML-L7 Remote

The optional ML-L7 remote (not included) can wirelessly adjust a variety of settings such as ISO, zoom, and aperture, in addition to triggering the shutter of the P1100. This lets you maintain precise composition while shooting from a tripod.
