NIKON COOLPIX P1000

$1,499, nikon.com.au

Ever wanted to know what an ant’s earlobe looks like? Or what that microdot on the moon is? Now you can (maybe). The latest snapper in Nikon’s long-running CoolPix range is a wonder of science: it boasts the world’s longest optical zoom (125x, with a focal-length range of 24-3000mm!) for this size of camera – and yet, at a piffling 1.4kg, it’s a fraction of the weight of your average chunky DSLR. Nikon’s proprietary vibration reduction tech will help you capture eye-popping detail even when your hand is shaking. And that telephoto lens can be called into action while filming glorious 4K video, too, so you can shoot Blue Planet

style close-ups of sea anenomes to your heart’s content.

T3 SAYS: Whether you’re a wildlife snapper or a super-spy, that mega-zoom will make a big difference to your work.
