What owners like
Nikon COOLPIX P1000 works best when you want zoom-first daylight travel, casual events, and far-away subjects without carrying an interchangeable-lens kit rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.3-inch CMOS and 24-3000mm equivalent, f/2.8-8, 125x optical zoom are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
