Nikon says of the P1100 camera: “Travel to the moon. Soar with the birds. Or keep your feet on the ground and explore the tiny details of nature—all with one extraordinary portable camera.”
I have owned the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 for a couple of years now and have to agree with Nikon’s description above. Overall, I have been impressed with the content that this camera puts out. Under the right lighting conditions, it can produce quality photos that equals that of Nikon’s full frame cameras. Of course, (and this is no minor detail) with an equivalent focal range of 24 - 3000mm, it’s unrivaled in the camera world in its ability to get close to your subjects. Generally speaking, if you can see it, you can photograph it with this camera, and in most cases, even fill the frame!
To achieve this incredible zoom range, some tradeoffs exist. Photos normally have higher noise levels than Z cameras, are not as sharp as ones taken with Nikon full frame bodies and are not ideal for capturing fast action shots. However, just when I say that about actions shots, the first photo that appears in the gallery below is an action shot at our local dirt track field. Just like anything else, there are always exceptions to everything I guess!
The P1100 is also compatible with Nikon’s mobile device program SnapBridge.
Once you have viewed the images, let me know in the comments below (no sign-in required) if you have any questions about the Nikon P1100 or the photos in the gallery. Thanks for stopping by!

Today, Robert G Allen Photography reached a major website traffic milestone: we surpassed 100,000 website sessions as measured by www.statcounter.com
I thought it was time to do a refresh of the blog header photo collage. At first, I was only going to replace a few of the photos. But upon further thought, I decided to replace them all. So, I went into my Capture One 250,000 photo archive and looked for 7 replacements that would adapt to a vertical slanted format.
I just learned that a person who I have followed for many years in the photography world and who had a brief stint in my home town of Rochester New York (he attended Rochester Institute of Technology), has passed away.
The Nikon’s Zfc DX mirrorless retro camera has received a small firmware update with the following changes:
I’m fortunate that I live close to a nature trail that runs along a small creek, just a few minutes’ drive away from my home. It’s during this time of year that you are more likely to find interesting things to photograph along the trail.
One of my favorite lenses, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S line lens receives a minor firmware update, going from version 1.10 to 1.20. These are the changes:
One of my all time favorite lens for portraits was the Nikon Nikkor AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II F- mount lens. If this new Z lens is even close to the performance of the older lens (which I’m sure it will be or better), this is sure to be a popular addition to the Z line of optics.
On there website today, they posted the following message:
It is with great disappointment that on May 2, 2026, Spirit Airlines started an orderly wind-down of our operations, effective immediately. To our Guests: all flights have been cancelled, and customer service is no longer available. We are proud of the impact of our ultra-low-cost model on the industry over the last 33 years and had hoped to serve our Guests for many years to come.
The Flower Moon was in full bloom last evening. The first of the full moons in May, it’s called the Flower Moon because it appears when the spring flowers are starting to blossom.
On a clear blue sky day, I was working in my backyard and noticed a few contrails overhead. I decided to take a look at the site Flight radar 24 to see if anything interesting was approaching the Idaho area. Wow, what luck! Not one but 2 Airbus A380s, the world’s largest passenger airplanes, were heading straight for Idaho.
As you can see, Dixie is not the first to move on from Nikon. Keith Ladzinski was also poached by canon. When you are a distance 3rd place in market share, these types of embarrassments will continue to happen to Nikon.
