Top Rated Gear: Used Nikon COOLPIX A1000 16MP Compact Digital Camera, 35x Optical Zoom, 4K UHD Video undefined

 A small camera with huge potential Packed inside this sleek, high-end design is a super telephoto NIKKOR zoom lens and serious photo and video power: versatile low-light capabilities, rock-steady image and video stabilization, 4K Ultra HD recording, P/S/A/M control, RAW shooting, creative modes and filters, a tilting touchscreen and even an ultra-sharp electronic viewfinder for composing like a pro. It connects to the SnapBridge 2.5 app for instant sharing and remote control and it handles like a dream. For those who want an all-in-one camera that can do it all, the COOLPIX A1000 delivers. Near, far and everything in between  35x optical zoom lens with macro capability The COOLPIX A1000 is compact and lightweight-perfect for a pocket or purse. Start zooming and its superb 35x optical zoom NIKKOR lens begins to extend, taking you from wide-angle vistas to flattering portraits, all the way to super telephoto close-ups (840mm equivalent view). In the rare cases when you need to get closer, Dynamic Fine Zoom doubles that reach for a whopping 1,680mm equivalent view. Turn on Macro Mode and get as close as approx. 0.4 in. from your subject to reveal the smallest details. Beautiful photos in challenging light  Backside-illuminated CMOS sensor and wide ISO range A backside-illuminated image sensor gathers maximum light, so you can take sharper photos in dark situations. That performance is enhanced by a wide ISO range-from ISO 100 to 6400-and its high-performance NIKKOR lens. Capture high-quality images with the optimal balance between high resolution and less noise at high sensitivities, even in dimly lit environments. In addition, the VR (Vibration Reduction) function that provides an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 3.0 stops faster (based on CIPA Standards) contributes to reproducing sharp, crisp images even without a tripod. Dazzling videos  4K Ultra HD videos with stereo sound Record 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) videos with full stereo sound-quality that will amaze your friends and family. You can also shoot Full HD 1080/60p movies for smooth recording. In movie recording, Hybrid VR combines optical and electronic VR to keep your videos sharp and steady, especially during hand-held telephoto shooting. Frames from movies recorded in 4K UHD format can also be saved as still images to preserve precious moments that cannot be captured with continuous still shooting. Sharper details in bright light and shadows  Active D-Lighting for movies and stills Nikon's Active D-Lighting brings out the details in highlights and shadows, which can often be lost. It's particularly effective when shooting heavily backlit subjects or in situations with direct sunlight. Images can be captured just the way you see them and video footage can be utilized with no further color grading. RAW (NRW) format  Easier editing and post-processing The COOLPIX A1000 can capture uncompressed RAW (NRW) images. Preserve all the data from its image sensor and then create your ideal look using Nikon's free ViewNX-i and Capture NX-D software without lowering image quality. Let your creativity shine  Creative Mode and P/S/A/M dial Select from five pre-set Creative Modes and check out how they look with four different effects applied. You have a choice of 20 image options in total. A great way to capture dramatic nightscapes is with the Multiple Exposure Lighten function, which compares multiple images taken using interval timer photography then automatically composites the brightest parts to express light paths. The command dial lets you quickly access four exposure modes (P/S/A/M) and other manual settings for personal control that full auto cannot provide. Compose like a pro  Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) Cut through bright outdoor light with a 1166k-dot electronic viewfinder. Simply put the camera to your eye and it will automatically switch the display from the touchscreen to the EVF.   Tilting Touchscreen  Shoot from interesting angles with the 3-inch, approx. 1036k-dot tilting LCD display with anti-reflection coating. Touch to focus, shoot and navigate menus. Swipe through your shots and pinch to zoom.   Snap-back Zoom Button  At super telephoto distances, you can sometimes lose sight of your subject. If this happens, just press the Snap-back zoom button to quickly zoom out so you can reacquire your subject. Or customize this button to activate manual focus, aperture, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation or white balance.   Ready when the moment strikes  Fast start-up, autofocus and performance  The COOLPIX A1000 has quick start-up, shortened time lag and responsive autofocus to get your subject clearly focused without having to wait. When a unique opportunity comes your way, capturing the moment is only a split-second away.   High-end Nikon design  Sophisticated design and styling  The simple yet sophisticated exterior design helps embody the essence of a high-end Nikon camera. Clear, bold shapes unite to project an overall impression of high quality and superior functions, including a new grip designed to comfortably fit in the hands. Metallic materials are employed for the front of the lens barrel and side of the body, resulting in a camera you'll be proud to show off to your friends.   Always connected  Unleash new possibilities with a compatible smartphone  Install Nikon's SnapBridge 2.5 app on a compatible smartphone or tablet and unlock exciting new capabilities with the COOLPIX A1000. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) maintain a constant connection between the app and your camera, so each shot you take automatically transfers to your smartphone or tablet for sharing, editing with photo apps or uploading to your favorite sites. You can even use the SnapBridge app to control your camera remotely. Technology  VR image stabilization  A Nikon technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake.  ISO 6400  Maximum high ISO available on the camera is 6400 ISO.  CMOS  Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, one of the two main types of image sensors used in digital cameras. The Nikon COOLPIX CMOS image sensor with a backside illumination structure increases the amount of light that each pixel receives. The resulting improvement in noise and sensitivity reduction makes the select COOLPIX cameras more capable when shooting night scenes or in dark indoor situations.  Smart Portrait System  Nikon's Smart Portrait System incorporates into COOLPIX cameras a series of automatic functions, including In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, Improved Face-Priority AF, Face Priority AE, Smile Mode, Blink Warning, Skin Softening and D-Lighting.  Scene Auto Selector  Nikon COOLPIX cameras are so smart they know what kind of picture you're taking and can automatically select from six commonly used scene modes, eliminating the mode-setting procedure and streamlining the shooting process.  Target Finding AF  Select COOLPIX digital cameras utilize the Target Finding AF feature which instantaneously assesses the intended subject and automatically adjusts the AF area according to its size to assure clearly focused images.  Subject Tracking  COOLPIX cameras and select D-SLRs in Live View mode, maintain focus on a moving subject using a contrast detection system, which is based on the principle that objects in a scene that are in focus display the highest contrast.  Wi-Fi  Refers to wireless technology and wireless communication. In photography, it's most commonly the wireless transmission of images directly from a camera to a computer in order to achieve a swifter workflow.  Dynamic Fine Zoom  Dynamic Fine Zoom is a new feature available on select Nikon COOLPIX digital cameras that extends the zoom range electronically 2x with minimal image degradation.

It has every option that you would want in a pocket camera?and it?s a Nikon!

Awesome small-format camera

I have done professional photography for almost 50 years and I have never had a camera this complicated to use.  it also took almost a year...two attempts to get one....for it to finally arrive.

what i got it for should have fit the project perfectly but takes too much time  once I tried to figure out how to navigate to get the shot I wanted.  I also find the manuel missing a lot of critical information on how to operate.  for instance, could not find how to adjust ISO but finally realized it was adjustable on the touch screen......do not like touch screen operation cause did not alway work.

the camera was recommended to me but I would not recommend it

coolpix ......1000 reason not to get one

Battery dies soooo fast, I love the camera, but when using it, and turning it off, battery loses complete power. To save battery, I have to remove battery and then reinsert it.

My Nikon

This camera was a major step up for my wife.  She loves taking pictures but does not like all of the fuss over settings etc. of a "big camera".  She has been using a Nikon L32 with great success, except for the zoom aspect..  After much discussion we agreed a change was necessary and settled on the  A1000.  
The camera is compact, will fit easily into her purse, has a great variety of settings, has a great zoom and is easy to use.  Great photos.   
Glad we made the upgrade.

A step up

I have used the camera extensively and love it.  I own 3 Nikon SLRs but wanted a small "fun" camera and one I could easily carry with me when riding my bike.  This fits the bill.  I'm quite satisfied with the pictures.  My only disappointment was with the Corel software that came as part of the package.  It's not the latest version and it doesn't open images taken with this camera.  You have to upgrade to the latest version to get software that's compatible with this camera.

Great Point and Shoot

The Nikon A1000 is proving to exceed my expectations. It uses batteries and SDHC card storage I already had, but adds on the longer zoom  than my prior Nikon and has the choice of back screen or eye level focusing. Image quality meets  all my needs, so this is a real winner.

Real winner!

I'm very pleased with the camera.  I was looking for a compact "fun" camera that had an electronic viewfinder and fairly decent zoom range.  This one fit the bill.  I've shot a couple of hundred pictures and am pleased with the overall quality.  My only complaint is not with the camera, but with the package.  The software that come with it will not open raw files taken with this camera.  Which, of course, makes the software pretty useless.  I realize the things in the package are essentially free because the package price is the same as the price for the camera alone, but really, if you are going to package items for promotional purposes they ought to work with the camera.

Camera is great, items in the package aren't

Nikon A1000 is a small pocket camera with a great zoom range. Electronic View Finder is great if you normally use a DSLR.  Many ways to customize the settings.  Pro Optic lens cleaning kit is well equipped and comes in a nice case. SD Card allows for fast video operation.  Camera case is much larger than camera, could fit 2 cameras in the case. This defeats the small pocket size camera.  A better case is the Case Logic DCB313 which still allows for 4 extra batteries and a memory card.

I like the quality of the photos. I use it like film camera. I don't need all the electronics on my camera.  I use my Mac for editing.

NIKON A 1000

The price at $400 is a bit steep for my budget. I would highly consider this camera at $250 especially since it's a point and shoot type camera. The one really nice thing it has going for it is a view finder which is missing from most budget point and shoot camera now a days. Bright sunlight will wash out the LCD Screen making the shot a guess. There are some accessories that you can put over the LCD Screen so you can shoot in bright sunlight, however, now you you have to carry extra accessories with you and I'm one for traveling light as possible. Overall, if Nikon were to drop the price I would highly consider the purchase. For the same price you can get a D3500 DSLR camera and with a little bit more money get some halfway decent lenses for it too. I also owned a D3500 and it does take phenomenal pictures too.

I Like the Camera

I bought the Nikon A1000 in Dec 2018 based on the published reviews to replace my Panasonic DMC-ZS60 which had trouble providing sharp focus across the images. Initially, the A1000 did that and then some. Images were quite a bit sharper than the ZS60 it replaces. It is not a D750/850, but then, it is not meant to be; try to stick one of those in your pocket!.

However, it did suffer quite a bit from hesitating when settings were changed and when using the RAW setting, especially when shooting sequences. I was advised by Nikon that they were working on a firmware update that should address the issues I reported.

After installing the new firmware, it appears that firmware Version 1.1 addresses these issues.

Coolpix A1000 now really ready

Once again, Nikon cameras has done it!  I have a wonderful DLSR that I use close to home and just wanted a lighter camera for travel.  Looking forward to taking this smaller compact camera that takes great photos on future trip.

Nikon A1000 Photos are Great!

I wanted a Point and Shoot Camera that has a view finder.  I normally use a Nikon DSLR. I love the way this one switches from the monitor to the electronic view finder when you put it near your face.  You just have to watch that you do not get a finger near the sensor when looking at the monitor or it will switch to the view finder.  The Zoom is great and the image stabilization of the camera is also great.  I like it due to the that it uses the same battery and charger as an older Nikon point and shoot that I use.  I like the fast turn on and focus ability of this camera.  It is very easy to switch from taking pictures to taking videos.  I like the ability to be able to set the camera to take 4x6 pictures.  It can mimic a lot of my DSLR functions.  Now I have the ability to carry a mall camera and to get similar quality and functions of a DSLR.  It is very easy to set up and to change scene modes.  For the money, I do not think this camera can be beat by any other small point and shoot camera.  Since I have just received this camera I have not had the time to full investigate and use all its capabilities.  It will do anything that I need to do with a point and shoot camera.  It pretty much has the capabilities of a DSLR for everyday photo shooting.
