The Nikon Coolpix P1000 super-telephoto digital camera with 125x optical zoom is now discontinued

By [NR] admin | Published: February 29, 2024




Several Japanese stores list the Nikon Coolpix P1000 super-telephoto digital camera with 125x optical zoom as discontinued/production completed:

  • Camera Kitamura: Completed products
  • Map camera: Out of production/in stock
  • Bic Camera: Completed products
  • Yodobashi Camera: Discontinued

Nikon Japan still lists the P1000 as a “current product”.

In the US, the P1000 is out of stock/back-ordered at B&H Photo and Adorama.

Amazon seems to have only refurbished/gray market P100 cameras.

WEX UK and Foto Erhardt DE also show the P1000 as discontinued.

The P1000 was announced back in 2018.

I strongly believe Nikon will release a new version of this model since the P1000 has been extremely popular for birds photography.

Previous coverage of the Nikon Coolpix P1000 camera can be found here:
