Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Nikon replaces my old Coolpix S8100 but with all the advantages of a bridge camera, such as RAW shooting, MACRO, and EVF [small]. The size of the camera works perfectly for me because it is easily portable, and the zoom capability is sufficient. Photos are beautiful on sunny days, and those taken on an overcast day were surprisingly sharp. However, I found that shooting in complete shade is to be avoided. I have not explored all the possibilities the A1000 offers, but I am very pleased with my choice and look forward more great shots.

Great small camera with excellent zoom and picture quality. Tried a a similar Canon and Sony cameras that took pictures that had a lot of pixelation... not this camera. I also have an outstanding Nikon P900 for additional zoom capability. Below pictures show free-hand moon shots taken with the A1000 and P900 cameras... both look excellent and show the zoom capability. Definitely highly recommend this camera above the other brands at this price point.

This is a good camera overall, and is great for folks who want a "pocket size" camera for general photography. Pictures are clear and the videos are nice. It is not a "low light" camera, although I have taken many good pics indoors during concerts and they come out good. Video is good, but sometimes the focusing doesn't catch up when zooming; a problem with a lot of smaller inexpensive cameras. For some strange reason, the tripod "socket" is off to the side and not in the middle. A big plus (for me) is that I can shoot video and stills at the same time; something not found on most cameras. It also shoots panoramas. Overall, this is a nice small camera that has many features on it that only come in cameras that are larger and more expensive. There are better cameras out that, but you will pay three times as much for them.

I love this camera. One of the best options you can make if you do not want to carry a DSLR. Takes amazing shots of people and landscapes. I take amazing sports shots too. The Bluetooth function works great so I can instantly transfer to my phone to post to social media.

Previous Nikon Coolpix owner. This new one has a lot more features and it is advisable to download the users manual and understand the features. I must have missed out on a number of photos that I didn't take because of not knowing about the camera.

I wanted a better camera than i have had on my phone - fro my trips and going to the astros games. This camera can be linked to your phone with an app and pictures taken on the camera are sent to the phone. Great for social media and to text to friends and family. The zoom is great as are the pictures.

This camera is great for me. I'm an experienced semi-pro photographer that sometimes just needs something lightweight, small and reliable to shoot landscapes, old signs, and people. This fits the bill! It's RAW setting and adjustable controls make it easy to use and suitable for all skill levels. Highly recommend!

i like it. pocket sized. out the door, put it in your pocket, and go! FAST wake up \ power up....and FAST picture taking. almost no delay.

Coming from a Canon product and the only thing I really don't like about this unit is WiFi downloading of photos. I just take the card out and stick in my card reader and it transfers flawlessly that way. Picture quality is decent, controls and functions are easy enough to use. The Canon was better for WiFi functionality but I had other issues with it that this one solved.

After careful research I decided on this camera primarily for the zoom. I’ve been pleased with how it performs and am looking forward to using it on vacation in Europe. Haven’t found anything to cause dissatisfaction.

The camera is nice and small but it’s hard to change some settings on it for example to take videos. It takes good clean still shots but not any moving images that are happening.

I purchased this camera for travel photography. The Nikon A1000 performance is great for daylight photography but needs a steady hand for night shoots. A1000 has lots functions that will help you create beautiful pictures.

This camera has a great built in zoom! I thought the photos taken in good light were fine but if lighting was good the quality went downhill quickly.

Love this camera, I still have my Nikon SLR 5500 but get tired of lugging it around. Was surprised at how great the photos are from this little camera, it really has a lot on it, like having a mini computer. I know I wouldn't want to blow some up to a really big size but mostly this is for Flickr and Facebook. This goes everywhere with me in a small purse.

Great for photo journalism Light weight, rugged exterior and brilliant flash A better sling design needed for carrying otherwise improvise to suit your body design Worth the cost

One of the best investments that I have ever made. The quality of the camera is exceptional. The folks at Best Buy always do things in a very professional manner. That is why I purchase the majority of my electronics at Best Buy. The people are always gracious and helpful.

Love this camera. You will need a tripod or some other form of stability when zoomed all the way out, which by the way is great. Bought it as a back up and when I didn't want to carry my other cameras. Compact but powerful. Easy to use. Never had a problem with it. It was stolen when I didn't take it with me one time. I will be buying another one.

I am going to Germany and I am bringing it there. Thank you

Pictures were coming out blurry., but I think I got it now.

My husband and I did some research on this camera when I wanted a better camera. The first camera was manufacture defected so they replaced it with another. So far so good, It takes beautiful pictures and fits well in my purse or fanny pack. Still learning how to use a lot of the features. So far having fun using the camera.
