Camera optical and image quality is all they say it is. The 125 zoom works very well and the stabilzation is amazing so pictures at full zoom are possible handheld. There is also digital zoom taking the effective zoom to 500x !!

If you're a flat earther, or simply want to see what stars look like up close without any of that fake CGI rubbish that NASA produces, then you'll want to get this camera (or the Nikon Coolpix P900 – which is quite a lot cheaper, but it does have less zoom).

Purchased a month ago, and had owned the P900 before this, and besides the bigger size and weight over the P900, (it's big) the improvements over it are worth the extra cost, the zoom is epic, great pics, features and easy to use.

Some glitches with the App connectivity but the zoom is amazing

Even with its impressive focal range of 24mm to 3,000mm (35mm equivalent), this camera is a lot for the average photographer to handle. But, with patience, practice and a very steady hand, you may be able to capture unique pictures of wildlife - and even the craters on the moon.

125x 24-3,000mm (equivalent) lens; Excellent image stabilization; Fully articulating LCD; 4K UHD video; RAW capabilities

Bulky; Variable image quality; No touch screen; Short battery life

I bought this as a Christmas presents and its broken. I'm not back from holidays until the 3rd of Jan so all the memories my daughter was going to capture is gone.

Achieving a high level of optical zoom on DSLRs and full-frame cameras typically requires using a large and heavy lens, like the ones you've probably seen being used at sporting events or for wildlife photography.

Impressive zoom range; Very good lens stabilisation; Fully articulating display; RAW and 4K support

Heavy and bulky; Average quality JPEGs; Battery life could be better; Autofocus can be sluggish

It's hard not to be gobsmacked by the P1000's 3,000mm-equivalent lens, especially in light of its (just about) three-figure price. It's an amazing technical achievement.

Stunning zoom capabilities; Reasonable price; Impressive photo and video performance in good light

Image quality suffers badly in low light; No touchscreen; Laggy viewfinder

OMG. What a camera. Took awesome handheld pictures zoomed in on the moon one night that were phenomenal. Like a telescope more than a camera. It is very heavy but no more than a DSLR with same focal length lens. Don't understand why they can't make the lens cap with a small hole to attach a strap.

very happy with the P1000 yes its heavy but you do get used to it . for me it performs best on a tripod due to size some times a little slow to focus but other than that it is awesome with how close you can get to a bird or animal far away best zoom i have used

Easy to use; Battery life; Screen size

Bulky
