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. It is purpose-built for wildlife, bird, and astronomy photography where extreme telephoto reach is paramount, though its compact camera sensor and lack of weather resistance are notable limitations.
