Worth Knowing
−Small 1/2.3-inch sensor limits image quality and low-light performance compared to mirrorless or DSLR cameras

−Slow autofocus and lens zoom can be sluggish, causing missed opportunities in fast-paced situations
−Premium price point ($1,100+) limits accessibility despite fixed lens limitations

About This Camera
The Nikon Coolpix P1100 is a superzoom digital bridge camera officially announced on February 5, 2025 as the successor to the Nikon Coolpix P1000. The P1100 features a 125× optical zoom NIKKOR lens, covering a focal range equivalent to 24–3000 mm in 35 mm equivalent, and is equipped with a 16 MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor. The camera supports 4K UHD video recording and features a vari-angle 3.2-inch LCD screen, as well as a 2.36M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder.
