Product Description
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 will give 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 for your lens. 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 lets users beautifully 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.

Ordered a lens on Friday. Item was delivered to me on Monday. Arrived in excellent condition in perfect working order. Not only did I pay a very reasonable price, but the shipping was free ! I will definitely do business with Pixel Connection again should the need arise !
I cannot say enough good things about Pixel Connection. I've bought multiple camera bodies - new and used - from them, along with several lenses, and they simply cannot be beat. Super helpful on the phone, good prices, and willing to work with customers to make the right solution happen. Pixel Connection is where I look first when buying camera equipment.
I am a cosmetic dentist so my photography is very important to me. I needed my camera set up for ease of use and custom settings. Jesse and Sam are so knowledgeable. Those two men helped me quickly and the Pixel store is open until 7 pm so I was able to get this done before my next working day! I also noticed Pixel has everything one needs for cameras, video and audio, social media, drones and even film! Check this store out for yourself for quality service and products!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My latest experience with ThePixelConnection was absolutely phenomenal. Matt and Ari went above and beyond to ensure I got the camera I needed, even when it seemed impossible.
The item I needed was out of stock everywhere else, but they didn’t stop there—they took the extra step to contact the manufacturer directly and managed to secure a new unit straight from the factory. Thanks to their incredible effort, I received my camera just in time for an important event.
What truly sets ThePixelConnection apart is the personal touch they bring to every interaction. Unlike my experiences with B&H—which, while efficient and resourceful, often feel very clinical and transactional—ThePixelConnection makes you feel like a genuinely valued customer.
I’ve worked with B&H for years and spent a small fortune with them, but if ThePixelConnection has what I need, they’re always my first choice. Their team is passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to ensuring you get exactly what you’re looking for.
Matt, in particular, is a seasoned professional with extensive expertise in photography and their product lineup. His guidance and dedication made the entire process effortless and stress-free.
If you’re looking for exceptional service from a team that truly values its customers, look no further than ThePixelConnection. They’ve earned my loyalty, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

“Quick and easy and with the option for in-store pickup.”
March 18, 2025 by Yin (Virginia, US)
“I have pre-ordered two cameras with Pixel Connection and both times have been wonderful experiences. Staff have been kind and helpful both times. They provided updates weekly and even provided me an option to purchase a different color camera when it became available before my pre-ordered color. They were also prompt with their shipping once payment was completed!”
