Nikon COOLPIX P1100

October 7th was the annual harvest moon. Where I was located, the atmosphere was very clear so I thought I would take out the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 and see what I could capture. This image has not been cropped and the P1100 was fully racked out at 3000mm. It was run through Topaz with noise reduction and minor sharpening.

Overall, I’m pleased with the results. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts (no sign-in required).

A Brief Review of the Nikon COOLPIX P950 Camera
A Brief Review of the Nikon COOLPIX P950 Camera

Overall, I highly recommend the Nikon P950 camera for what it’s intended for, zooming in on a faraway subject. If your subject is in good light, and you make sure AF is locked on, you will be rewarded with photos that are perfectly acceptable for website use, social media and even for making prints to frame and hang in your home.

SONY Puts Pressure On The Auto Focus Abilities Of The Nikon Z9II With The Release Of Firmware Version 4.0 For Their A1 II And A9 III Cameras
SONY Puts Pressure On The Auto Focus Abilities Of The Nikon Z9II With The Release Of Firmware Version 4.0 For Their A1 II And A9 III Cameras

As I have written before, with the release of the Canon (R1) and SONY’s (A1 II and A9 III) flagship cameras, Nikon now has the receipt they need to make sure the Z9II eclipses both of those competing flagship cameras. This sounds easy enough since they now have the answer as to what specs the Z9II needs to have. But, both SONY and Canon cameras abilities are not static due to the option of firmware updates. And that’s exactly what just happened with both of SONY’s flagship cameras.

Behind the Scenes with Nikon Ambassador Joe McNally with the new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II lens (and BTS video)

Within a few days of taking delivery of the complete professional f/2.8 zoom trio, Nikon announced the new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, replacing the original NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens I had just purchased. For now, I’m staying with the original 24-70 f/2.8 Z lens for now, mostly due to the price difference. Once the novelty wares off and the price comes down on the new version, I’m sure I will eventually purchase the II version and sell the original one.

Using his Nikon Z9, photographer Prasenjeet Yadav gets the October 2025 cover shot for National Geographic Magazine.

From Nat Geo: “Prasenjeet Yadav had one goal: capture the perfect image of a pseudo-melanistic tiger for his story on India’s Similipal Tiger Reserve. Easier said than done.” Well maybe easier said than done with another camera, but not if you have the Nikon Z9.
