Recent reports suggest the demand for the Nikon P1000 camera has gained huge momentum. The camera is now selling for more than its recommended MSRP retail price range (approximately 2X price), and this is very clearly visible in online stores all around the world.
The demand for compact cameras has returned to the market, and most influencers right now are willing to buy a high-quality compact camera. However, the supply of compact cameras is very low, and at the same time, there is only one super high-zoom camera available: the Nikon P1000.
As we have already said, the recent report shows that the price of the P1000 is skyrocketing globally. Now let’s dive into the details and explore the possibilities, starting with the name of the camera.
Nikon P1100 or P2000: What’s Next from Nikon?
First of all, the scarcity of the Nikon P1000 camera and the high price tag clearly indicate a very high demand for a new model. Another big hint is that most of the P1000 stock has been sold out. It looks like the company is clearing up the previous stock in order to announce the new camera.
What will be the name of the upcoming Nikon mega-zoom camera? Based on leaks and speculations, the name is not very clear. If they move in chronological order, the name of the upcoming camera will likely be Nikon P1000, which would be the successor to the P1000. Earlier, the P1000 was the successor to the P900 camera, so this is how they are moving in chronological order in their mega-zoom series. However, if they take a bold leap with a major upgrade in the core specifications of the camera, or if some groundbreaking features like AI autofocus, a larger image sensor, and better optics are introduced, it may lead to a major leap in the name too, like Nikon P2000. Chinese sources are specifically speculating that the camera name will be the Nikon P2000 and not the P1100.
Rumored Specifications of the P1000 Successor:
- 150x high-quality optical zoom lens, with digital zoom up to 200x. – As per the initial rumors, the camera is set to have a 3500mm zoom lens. Earlier, the P1000 model had a 3000mm zoom lens, which was equivalent to 125x optical zoom.
- The new lens will have an aperture of f/2.8 ultra-wide aperture, which will improve the overall low-light performance of the camera and will also help ensure more artistic depth of field in the shots.
- The NEW 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor (larger than the P1000’s 1/2.3-inch sensor) aims to boost dynamic range, reduce noise, and enhance image quality
- New AI Auotofous: Similar to what we have seen in Nikon Z50 II, Z6 III, Z8, and Z9.
- 4k 60FPS Video and continuous, refined autofocus and color grading tools for enhanced video production
Nikon P2000 camera can easily dominate the bridge camera market with its unmatched zoom and new AI modes. The best thing is that literally no competitor is present in the bridge camera market to compete against the Nikon P2000 camera.
The camera is targeted towards bird lovers, travel photographers, and even professionals who want to have a secondary body and an alternative to heavy and bulky DSLR setups. At the same time, a huge market demand has emerged from content creators who love to have tax-saver products and higher-zoom cameras that produce better image quality than their smartphones.
Nikon should announce the P1000 camera as soon as possible. The fan base is eagerly waiting for Nikon’s next move. Stay tuned—we will update you as soon as we get any new information related to the company’s upcoming cameras and lenses.
