NIKON COOLPIX P1100
Nikon’s compact Coolpix P1100 builds on the legacy of its legendary predecessor, the P1000, but offers a 125x optical zoom – the equivalent of a 24-3000mm focal length range. A digital zoom pushes the range to a staggering 250x – 6000mm equivalent. It supports 4K/30p video recording, as well as superlapse and time-lapse movie options. Optical vibration reduction provides stabilisation equivalent to four stops. It weighs just 1410g with its built-in lens, a 3.2-inch TFT LCD vari-angle monitor for a wide viewing angle and clean HDMI output to an external monitor during recording. nikon.co.uk
