This powerful little camera can take on scenes that aren’t usually an option for a compact camera user. An impressive optic zoom and focusing capabilities provide a broad experience that satisfies the most exigent photographer. It can shoot in RAW, record time-lapse scenes, capture fireworks shows, and capture macro shots 1 cm from the front of the lens. From close-ups to astrophotography, there is nothing the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 can’t do. All it needs from the user are a few settings to indicate their preferences and for them to point the camera in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amazing thing about the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 is that it can tackle any photographic genre, from bird and wildlife photography to astrophotography to surveillance to travel photography to portraiture. It features over 17 scene modes that suit any possible scenario and prepares the camera to capture impeccable images and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In close-up mode, for example, and at the wide end of the focal length range (24mm), you can get as close as 1cm from your subject and capture beautiful macro shots. At the telephoto end of the focal length range (3000mm), you can capture wildlife and bird details or take a close look at the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
