Nikon announced the new P1000 super zoom camera which is the anticipated upgrade to the P900 that came out a little over 3 years ago. The announcement is dated July 10, 2018.
The new P1000 has a 125X zoom lens that is 3000 mm eqv. (24 - 3000mm eqv.) The f/ number is f2.8 to 8. This compares to 83X 24 - 2000mm eqv and a a f/ number of 2.8 to 6.5 on the P900.
A few other highlights are ......
- Added RAW format vs jpeg only for the P900.
- 16 MP 1/2.3 cmos sensor and an upgraded processing engine.
- Viewfinder 1 cm approx. 2,359K dots OLED vs 0.5 cm 921k dot on the P900
- Monitor 3.2 in 921k dot from 3.0 in 921k dot on the P900
- 4K UHD video.
Those are some of the highlights. There is more to be found such as improvements in vibration control and connectors. Take a look at the specs and announcement to see what you can find, good or bad.
