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.

I have finally setup my first single topic portfolio on aviation. Aviation is one of the subjects that I seek out, both when at home and while traveling. It’s been a passion of mine for a long time. Hence, I have accumulated a lot of portfolio worthy content from shooting mostly airplanes over the years.

As we all know now, Nikon announced the Z8, a slimmed down version of the Z9 and a modern version of the original Nikon D850 DSLR. Let’s compare the specs between all 3 cameras.

Nikon recently released their 2026 financial statements for their fiscal year (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) and this year’s results do not look good. And when comparing this year to last year, it’s even more menacing. Let’s examine my concerns in more detail.

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.
Welcome to Robert G Allen Photography. I'm a professional multi-disciplinary commercial freelance photographer based in the Pacific Northwest and a Nikon DSLR Enthusiast.
While my career has primarily been as an event photographer, this website represents other areas of photography for which I have professional competency and enjoyment. The resulting front page gallery and single subject galleries are the result of a combination of client assignments and personal areas of interest.
I love my Nikon Z6II mirrorless camera. I hope this page serves as an inspiration as to what can be accomplished with this little gem of a camera, the NIkon Z6II.
