As the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 comes online, Nikon retires the COOLPIX P1000 from their lineup.

I find it really strange that Dpreview has the Nikon P1000 listed on their current MOST POPULAR CAMERAS list which is based on cameras that are frequently mentioned, discussed, or purchased by their readership, indicating high interest or demand from photographers. If the P1000 has been replaced, why isn’t the COOLPIX P1100 being mentioned more due to the fact that it is the newer replacement model.

I did have the P1000 for awhile but found the auto focus not very reliable. When the P1100 was released, I purchased it and found the AF improved over the P1000 and decided to keep it.

I love seeing all that Nikon gear hanging from her in the movie poster for the documentary Love and War, a doc about Lynsey Addario as she covers the Ukraine war and other conflicts around the world. The movie is produced by Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin.

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.

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.

The Tycho Crater on the Moon as seen by the Super telephoto Nikon COOLPIX P1100 at 3,000mm

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.

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.

With a release date of October 2020, the Z7II offers plenty of opportunity for updates and changes, much of which are overdue. Just like the Z6III, I think similar changes could be made to the Z7II to bring it up to date with the release of the Z7III. Here is what I think could the specs of a refreshed Nikon Z7II could be.
