Nikon Coolpix A1000 – Sharp and steady photography

The subject-tracking AF ensures that subjects are brought into focus quickly, even in low light. Nikon’s effective vibration reduction compensates for camera shake, ensuring that your photos and videos are sharp. This feature comes in handy whether you’re photographing landscapes from the back seat of an off-road vehicle or street scenes whilst out and about on foot.

The Nikon Coolpix A1000 features a 35x optical zoom, a new integrated electronic viewfinder and RAW image recording. Ideal as a travel companion, this camera lets you switch from atmospheric wide-angle shots to detailed super-telephoto shots in the blink of an eye. The camera supports 4K video recording and features a tilting touchscreen, making it easy to compose shots from intriguing angles.
