Nikon recently provided an update to their own photo editing software, NX Studio. This update takes from version 1.7.1 to 1.8.0 and includes adding support for the new COOLPIX P1100.
The full list of changes include:
• Added support for the COOLPIX P1100.
Fixed the following issues:
- Renaming or deleting a folder containing videos sometimes failed.
- Nikon Transfer 2 sometimes terminated while reading the file information from the camera.
- RAW pictures taken with some COOLPIX A1000 cameras could sometimes not be saved in JPEG format.

I was out with the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 on a very clear evening monitoring flight radar 24 and noticed a wide-body aircraft approaching. It turned out it was a United airlines Boeing Dreamliner flying from London (LHR) to San Fransisco (SFO) at 40K feet.
RIP Nikon Image Space. It was nice using you all of these years for client photo delivery.
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, the Nikon COOLPIX P1100.

A gallery of sample real photos (no AI photos) from my much loved Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera. I use the Z7II mostly in the studio and when out of the studio, for landscapes and general scenery. Let me know your thoughts on the Z7II in the comment section.
The Z5IIC delivers the same level of performance as the Z5II (released in April 2025), which offers advanced shooting functions that support a wide variety of shooting scenes and situations, yet makes it easy for even first-time camera users to express themselves through images.
As Nikon struggles financially, they are starting to make organizational changes to hopefully start to bring the company into a profitable position once again. Only time will tell if these early changes will be effective.
Today, I received the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4 mirrorless lens. Considering that it’s not a S line lens, the build quality is pretty good. It’s light and the lens hood is not too big or too small. I would say overall, the design has a pleasing esthetic compact look.

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.
