The P1000 offers a fixed lens and it has a focal range of 24-3000mm giving it a 125.0 x zoom which is ideal and is going to allow you to zoom all the way in.

At the widest 24mm, it provides an aperture of f2.8 making it really slow and not great in low light circumstances and you will likely find it hard to capture good bokeh. You might also need to raise the ISO giving you noisy shots. With the tele end, 3000mm is outstanding zoom and comes to f8 which is pretty slow and you will need to go with slower shutter speeds.

The P1000 has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes
• Wireless Yes
• Bluetooth Yes
• HDMI Yes

Digital cameras that contain NFC or Bluetooth support can be used wirelessly via smartphones. You can easily send files and sometimes alter camera settings without connecting straight to the camera.

Several applications even stream a Liveview and hit the shutter when you are not near the camera. If the camera includes a HDMI out, it can be hooked up to an external monitor. Most cameras enable you to recharge the battery pack using the USB port.

The max video resolution on the Nikon P1000 is 3840 x 2160 and it can shoot in MPEG-4 and H.264 file format. 2160p will provide a outstanding resolution for video recording. You will be able to crop to 1080p to get better results. Be wary of the huge file sizes and ensure you have got decent SD cards that have fast write speeds. Although the camera comes with a microphone socket, it is unfortunately missing a headphone socket so you won't be able to keep an eye on your audio levels.

Nikon P1000 does not include environment sealing so damp conditions can affect the camera.
