Identical twins – Body design, and button layout remain the same, the only change in the camera name is noticeable
Now we have created a different table where we have sorted out the major differences between the two. The thing that disappoints us, number one, is that there is no major upgrade we can find in the hardware zone of the camera. The sensor, the image processor, the lens, and even the battery—everything remains as it was in the predecessor of the camera. And the thing that disappointed us more is the drop in image stabilization support. Now, the P1100 camera got an IBIS rating of 4.0 stops only, whereas the Nikon P1000 camera had an image stabilization rating of 5.0 stops from CIPA.

Verdict:
The Nikon P1100 camera announced, does carry some necessary updates— most notably, the addition of a USB-C port, which is now mandatory for all electronic devices in the European Union. Other than that, the camera does have some minor upgrades, so if someone already has a P1000 camera, there is no need to spend extra money on this one, as the overall core specifications remain the same as those of the P1000.
Those who are looking for a mega zoom camera can buy it, since the P1000 has now been discontinued by Nikon, making the P1100 the only remaining super mega zoom model in the market.
