Nikon Announces the Coolpix P1000 — the Long Awaited Upgrade to the P900

Nikon COOLPIX P1000
Building on the success of their P900 model, Nikon today announced the release of the P1000. The new camera ups the zoom to 24-3,000mm (equiv.) from a “mere” 24-2,000mm, and offers raw images as well as better video.

Depsite its small sensor, the P900 offered images at 2,000mm that rivaled a $3,500 pro dSLR setup (read more), so this new model may, in certain circumstances, outperform much more expensive equipment.

About J.M. Hoffman

A prolific writer and avid photographer, J.M. Hoffman picked up his first camera when he was eight years old. And even though he abhors a cliche, he never looked back. Acclaimed as a "master raconteur" who writes with a "flair" (Times Literary Supplement of London), Hoffman authored two non-fiction books and contributed to over a dozen others before writing The Warwick Files. He continues to write fiction and non-fiction. In addition to writing and traveling the world lecturing about his books, Hoffman has also directed a dance troupe, taught darkroom technique, and explored Patagonia on horseback. From time to time he can be seen playing table tennis poorly at the WTCC. He lives just north of New York City.
