I’d buy this monster $1000 camera if I were a wildlife enthusiast first and a photographer second

I think the Nikon Coolpix P1100 is the perfect camera for the wildlife enthusiast who wants to complement their hobby with a little photography. It’s a budget-friendly and practical solution for those who simply don’t need enthusiast- or pro-level capabilities. It’s not just limited to wildlife enthusiasts; it’s a fine camera for photographing almost anything at a distance, be it the moon, fireworks, sports, and aviation.

Just be mindful that it doesn’t boast the processing grunt of Nikon’s higher-end cameras and can feel a little sluggish by comparison. The autofocus isn’t the best, either, but if you’re intent on capturing tack-sharp images of birds in flight, you’ll likely be looking for a higher-end setup anyway.
