Nikon continues to demonstrate that it’s capable of making incredible lenses, even if the rest of the P1000 is slightly more mundane, as Ben Andrews discovers
The press release for the P1000 made for entertaining reading. A fixed lens bridge camera with 125x optical zoom, equating to 24-3000mm in 35mm terms? “Tell me more!” Weight: 1.42kg, Length: 181mm. “Yikes, this thing is huge!” See, the P1000 isn’t blessed with a big sensor. Deep within lies a tiny 1/2.3-inch 16Mp chip, the same size you’d find in a budget compact or a smartphone, and unlikely to set any image quality records. Then my already slackened jaw descended into freefall. RRP: £1000/$1000.
You do at least get a lot of camera for your money. The P1000 is roughly as bulky as a D750 with a 24-70mm f/2.8 attached, but with much more girth around what would be the lens mount. It’s a comfortable camera in the hand though, with a well sculpted grip, even if build quality doesn’t feel quite as robust as a Nikon DSLR.
