Bridge cameras often get a bad rap, but the Nikon Coolpix P1000 is still one of the damnedest cameras I've ever seen. And it's all down to its signature party trick: its 125x zoom, which equates to a jaw-dropping 24-3000mm focal range.
I still remember the first time I used the Nikon Coolpix P1000, sat outside a café in Cologne after the very last Photokina. My colleague Ben Andrews had been tasked with reviewing it, and had valiantly sacrificed valuable hand luggage space to bring this comedy sized camera with him to Germany.
