Bridge magnet

If you’re drawn to the idea of an all-in-one camera with a generous zoom, they don’t come much bigger than the Nikon Coolpix P1000’s 24-3,000mm range

That focal length range is not a misprint! Nikon’s new bridge camera offers a 125x optical zoom, giving the 35mm-equivalent range of 24-3,000mm. (The P900 topped out at a paltry 2,000mm.) If 3,000mm is not enough, then you can use Dynamic Fine Zoom to take this to a focal length equivalent to 6,000mm. A 4x digital zoom can push this even further, although you’ll have to put up with reduced image quality as a result of your telephoto greed.

With a magnification of this magnitude (and a maximum aperture of f/8 at the long end of the zoom), camera shake becomes a serious concern. The P1000 features five-stop Dual Detect Optical VR technology, while its 16MP 1/2.3-inch sensor offers a top ISO of 6,400.

Beyond the scope of the lens, highlights include Raw shooting, 7fps continuous bursts, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 2.3million-dot electronic viewfinder and a 3.2-inch vari-angle LCD screen. Video enthusiasts are catered for with 4K UHD video at up to 30fps (or Full HD at up to 60fps), clean HDMI output and a microphone input. www.nikon.co.uk; £1,000/$1,000
