Nikon Coolpix P1000 in a Nutshell

The Nikon Coolpix P1000 looks like a small SLR ( available from 09/2018 ).

It weighs just over 1.4 kg, which is less than a DSLR with a zoom. This makes it easier to handle this camera in situations where you find yourself shooting with the zoom open and without a tripod.

The measurements of this camera are: 146.3 × 118.8 × 181.3mm.

The handle is very wide and therefore guarantees a safe and easy grip. All buttons are well positioned for an easy access. Even the zoom button, which is positioned on the side, allows you to recall it quickly and easily.
