The Nikon P1000 is a bit like an exotic supercar. Its design is focused solely on achieving big numbers, yet you’ll rarely take it to the max, but will still have to forgive its everyday inconveniences.

In our testing, we never needed more than 1500mm-equivalent reach to fill the image frame with our subject. While it’s nice to have the bragging rights that extra zoom is on tap, we’d prefer a more balanced camera with a bit less reach, but a smaller body containing a bigger sensor capable of better image quality.

We still love that Nikon has built such an incredible showcase of its optical engineering, even if the P1000 is a compromised beast that’s targeted at a very niche market.

The P1000 is a curious beast. If you absolutely need a camera with a 3000mm-equivalent lens, the fact that the P1000 is alone in offering this makes your decision easy. With a huge body, less-than-reliable autofocus, a sub-standard LCD and operational strifes, however, its appeal for anything else is more limited.
