Budding astronomers looking to capture pictures of the moon and outer space normally invest heavily in a rig that can handle such a thing. If you’re not looking to drop that kind of cash and prefer a setup that’s easier to transport, consider the Nikon Coolpix P1000, a new camera from the brand that offers 125x optical zoom—the most powerful zoom ever put on a Nikon Coolpix camera. In other words, you can use this compact camera to snap detailed pictures of the moon. Hell, there’s even a moon-shooting setting on the dial. The Coolpix P1000 uses a Dual Detect Optical Vibration System to stabilize those insanely zoomed in shots. There’s also 4K Ultra HD video, stereo sound, and the ability to shoot in low-light scenarios. A thousand bucks and you’re off to outer space.
