Meet Nikon’s new travel camera, the Coolpix A1000

By | January 17th, 2019|Categories: TechRadar|

After all the excitement over its new full-frame mirrorless cameras, Nikon has turned its attention to more wallet-friendly compacts with the launch of the Coolpix A1000.

Billed as a "stylish compact digital camera", the new Coolpix A1000 will appeal to those looking for a travel camera thanks to its 35x optical zoom, with a range from 24-840mm. This zoom coverage outdoes the likes of its nearest rivals, the Panasonic Lumix ZS70 (TZ90 outside the US) and Sony Cyber-shot HX99, which both feature 24-720mm zoom lenses. 

The long zoom means the Coolpix A1000 doesn't feature a larger 1.0-inch sensor as seen in the likes of the Panasonic Lumix ZS100; instead it's equipped with a more traditional 1/2.3-inch sensor with a resolution of 16MP.… Read the full article
