	This observation that flerfs are collectively hallucinating is, in reality, optically impossible. Zooming in increases resolution ([[Wikipedia:Optical resolution#Lens resolution \| to a certain extent]]), not the proportions of an object that is visible.

			The cameras are able to achieve their superzoom capabilities by employing an incredibly small sensor (16.17×4.45 mm). As a result, it is also fairly low resolution by modern standards (~16 MP). The high zoom is the result of a significant crop factor: the 539mm maximum focal length [[Wikipedia:Crop factor\|is equivalent to]] 3000mm on the P1100. The [[Wikipedia:Camera lens\|glass]] itself isn't all that impressive compared to professional equipment.

The '''Nikon Coolpix Performance Series''', specifically the '''P900''', '''P1000''' and '''P1100''', are the flerf cameras of choice. Dubbed the "globebuster",<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/DXNwrYrDMVq/</ref> it is almost a requirement for all flerfs to own one. Flerfs are so mesmerised by the superzoom capabilities, they believe these semi-budget point-and-shoot cameras contain the most advanced technology the human species has ever created.

These cameras are the source of countless flerf claims, most notably the idea that we "see too far" for what the globe predicts.

==Background==
The P-Series is a line of [[Wikipedia:Superzoom|superzoom]] [[Wikipedia:Point-and-shoot camera|C]][[Wikipedia:Digital camera|DC]]s. It was launched in 2012 with the P510, featuring a 24-1000mm eqivalent zoom (42×) and a 16.1MP CMOS sensor. The P-Series is currently the only line of Coolpix cameras still in production, with the P1100 being the current model.
