Let’s take a look at five things you should probably know about the new Coolpix P1100.
Versatility is the name of the game here the lens also offers a wide perspective for landscape photography.
If you’re looking for one lens to do it all, the Coolpix P1100 could be the ticket.

The Coolpix P1100 features a 1/2.3-inch sensor that’s capable of 16MP stills and4Kvideo.
For perspective, that sensor size is tiny, equivalent to that in a current entry-level smartphone.
It’s best to consider the Coolpix P1100as a beginner camera highly versatile, with modest image quality.
Or look into a mirrorless camera with a moderate telephoto zoom lens if distant subjects are your thing.
All of the above are true of both the new Coolpix P1100 and its predecessor, the Coolpix P1000.
So what exactly is new?
The answer is, not a lot.
Any Fn button operation can be assigned to the compatible Nikon ML-L7 Bluetooth remote, too.
Like I say, there are no upgrades really worth writing about.
That’s a shame for those that regularly use flash for short-range subjects.
I don’t think the downgrades are deal-breakers, but they are head-scratchers.

With the zoom lens fully extended, and even retracted, the Coolpix P1100 is a beastly camera.
