Nikon P1100 Overview

Shoot at staggering distances with the 125x optical zoom COOLPIX P1100 Digital Camera from Nikon. This camera has a 16MP backside illuminated CMOS sensor and features a built-in NIKKOR lens with a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 24-3000mm. You can zoom even further with 250x Dynamic Fine digital zoom, which gives you an equivalent focal length of 6000mm. Coupled with these extreme focal lengths is Nikon's Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction, which provides four stops of optical image stabilization, ensuring your telephoto shots are crisp and drastically reducing camera shake during handheld shooting.

Gracing the back of the camera is a 3.2" vari-angle, 921k-dot LCD monitor and an eye-level 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder, so your subjects will always be easy to see. The camera is also capable of recording 4K UHD video at 30 fps and supports an external microphone via a 3.5mm connector.

16MP BSI CMOS Image Sensor
The backside-illuminated sensor with 16 million effective pixels can output detailed images at sensitivities between ISO 100 and 6400 and allows for captures in the newly introduced RAW (.NRW) format.
125x Optical Zoom with Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction
An absurd 24-3000mm (35mm equivalent) focal range means few, if any, objects are out of reach. Zoom is further enhanced by Dynamic Fine digital zoom, which makes the maximum focal length a ridiculous 6000mm. Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction provides four stops of optical image stabilization, so your handheld shots are crisp.
Video Capabilities
Support for UHD 4K movie at 30 fps allows you to record subjects with the power of super-telephoto 3000mm equivalent. Frames from movies recorded in this format can also be saved as still images. Additionally, this system supports Clean HDMI output, which cleans the information display from the image output to an external monitor during recording.
Dual Viewing Systems
The P1100 features a bright vari-angle 3.2" LCD display that makes composing and reviewing images and movies a breeze. Also available is the 0.39", 2.36 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder for a more traditional shooting style.
Shooting Modes
The P1100 features a slew of shooting modes that adjust settings for different scenarios like nightscape, light trails, star trails, and the new fireworks show. The popular Moon Mode is great for shooting Earth's closest neighbor and the Bird Mode optimizes the camera for capturing the often bright and colorful creatures, both accessible directly from the mode dial. Additionally, COOLPIX Picture Control allows adjustments in accordance with the subject, shooting situations, and intentions.
Control Ring and Snapback Button
Use the control ring at the front of the device for adjusting focus, exposure, white balance, and ISO, all from the lens barrel. Also on the barrel is a zoom toggle and a dedicated Snapback button that will make your P1100 quickly zoom out in case you lose sight of your subject at long focal lengths. Releasing the button will return the focal length to its previous position.
Built-In Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Wireless connectivity has received significant upgrades, now operating under WPA3-SAE and Bluetooth version 5.1. Nikon's SnapBridge technology also allows for seamless photo sharing, and zoom control can be managed from a computer, smartphone, or tablet using NX Tether, or NX Field.
Optional ML-L7 Remote
The optional ML-L7 remote (not included) can wirelessly adjust a variety of settings such as ISO, zoom, and aperture, in addition to triggering the shutter of the P1100. This lets you maintain precise composition while shooting from a tripod.

Nikon P1100 Reviews

SD Card Slot hard to get card in/out

By Georgette
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2025-06-06

So disapointed! Apparently Nikon has put in some kind of mechanism to make it extremely hard to push the SD card into the slot and get it out. You have to almost force the card in and getting it out is same thing and have to practically pry it out and need strong fingernails! I did contact Nikon and they were able to reproduce the issue and are looking into it. My guess is that because the card/battery slot is on the bottom they wanted to prevent the card from slipping out? They went too far though to make it now hard to pull in/out!

Great Addition to our camera selection

Great wildlife camera, we purchased this camera for wildlife photography, we met a gentleman that had the P1000 last year and saw his photos. Our other cameras are Nikon DSLR camera and we originally thought this would be a step back in technology. We have been very pleased with the results we have gotten. The attached photo was taken at approximately 100 yards

What all is different compared to the P1000?
Asked by: Brian
The Nikon COOLPIX P1100 Digital Camera is very similar to the P1000, but Nikon upgraded to using a USB-C port and modernized the camera's connectivity by moving to WPA3-SAE Wi-Fi for greater security and Bluetooth 5.1. The P1100 also enables Fn button-operation from the ML-L7 Bluetooth remote, which the P1000 did not. The actual image quality remains the same.

is there a battery charger in the box?
Asked by: Doreen
The Nikon COOLPIX P1100 Digital Camera does not include a separate battery charger, but the battery can be charged while it's inserted in the camera by plugging the camera into a USB power adapter like the ANKER 33W 2-Port USB-C/USB-A Wall Charger with USB-C Cable, B&H # ANB2326J211. For a separate battery charger, you can use the Watson Compact AC/DC Charger for EN-EL20 or EN-EL20a Battery, B&H # WACNIENEL20.

Does it have Timelapse or hyperlapse modes? In your intro page, it lists that feature but it isn’t in the specs.
Asked by: Harold
Yes, the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 Digital Camera has a time lapse feature. Hyperlapse involves moving the camera when shooting time lapse so it cannot be built into a camera.

Can aperture be set manually?
Asked by: KIM
Yes, the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 Digital Camera can be operated in full manual, including the aperture. Keep in mind that the minimum aperture decreases as the focal length increases, maxing out at f8 when the lens is fully extended.
