However good your DSLR or mirrorless camera, do you sometimes yearn for a ‘do it all’ camera? One that means you no longer have to carry around a clanking bag of lenses in the heat, or get frustrated as your longest lens still isn’t long enough?

The answer could be a superzoom or ‘bridge’ compact camera. A good example is the Nikon Coolpix P1100, which manages to squeeze a whopping 125x optical zoom lens into a relatively compact body. This super-versatile lens offers the equivalent to 24-3000mm from ultra-wide to super telephoto zoom.

Check out this tempting Amazon deal – as well as the camera, you get a SD 128GB Extreme PRO SD memory card, gadget gag, extra battery, cleaning cloth and more. That’s a lot of photography gear for just over 1,000 bucks!
