A few days ago Nikon announced the Nikon Coolpix P1000, a compact camera with a 24-3000mm equivalent zoom, which translates to a 125x zoom.

125x zoom, you read right. If you want to learn what a 125x zoom, or a 24-3000mm (35mm-)equivalent lens means, then have a look at the videos below. Spoiler: it’s just C.R.A.Z.Y.

The Nikon Coolpix P1000 goes for $999, and can be pre-ordered at B&H, Adorama and Amazon.

Just for the fun to compare, this is what the Nikon P900 was able to do.

Nikon Coolpix P1000 at a glance:

• 3000mm optical zoom—the most powerful zoom lens ever put on a Nikon COOLPIX camera
• 4K Ultra HD video with HDMI out, stereo sound and an accessory hot-shoe
• Rock-steady Dual Detect image stabilization and great low-light capability
• RAW (NRW), time-lapse and Superlapse shooting plus great creative modes
• Full manual controls along with easy auto shooting

The Nikon Coolpix P900 already has a 83x zoom. People used the Coolpix P900 to shoot pictures of Saturn and of the Moon. Apparently the P900 wasn’t reaching far enough for Nikon and they made the Coolpix P1000, which has a 125x zoom, and is 24-3000mm equivalent. The Nikon Coolpix P1000 has a moon setting on the control dial, that’s something we didn’t see so far. The price in the US is $999, and pre-orders will open soon at B&H, Adorama and Amazon.
