My Take of the Nikon P-80 10.2 MP 18X

First off let me say
I bought this camera with out touching one on faith it would be good and I previously have used 35MM and had a Canon powershot A-95 Excellent little Camera but it didn't do as much as I wanted I ordered the P80 , an Extra battery and a 4 gig card for it got it in about a week(Slow) have had the camera about 6 weeks and I am very pleased with it, it takes excellent pictures it will do more than I can tell it too, I'm still learning the menus. If you set the camera correctly it will take an excellent shot, if you try to make it do something you have not set it to do then you will get a terrible photo but it is not the camera's fault its yours! If you read the manual and follow what it tells you as you learn it will take an excellent picture if you try it by the seat of your pants you will loose several shots but you will figure it out and eventually you will be happy with it. I have taken almost 900 photo with it is 6 weeks and lost maybe 15 not a total loss but blurry or poor color or out of focus MY FAULT! Setup is very easy to do and can be altered anytime I tried the fireworks setting on the 4th of July and did it free hand(needed a tripod) I was surprised how nice it took fireworks considering it was freehand! it has not been a disappointment for me it has been a joy and I think you might enjoy it too it is rated as slow on some things but its great for me because it does what I want and the way I want if you are advanced in your knowledge of photography you may not like it and on the other hand you may, I hope you do! This is my first Nikon and it is not a disappointment to me! Hope you enjoy it! JD

I have owned 4 Canons in the last 10 years and cannot complain for the quality in materials and performance. I was hesitant to change to Nikon since I'm somehow acquainted with Canon's "point n'shoot" strenghts and weaknesses. I don't regret having changed. The camera is very good and the menu is really easy to navigate.
Nikon's P80 is great; but you need to read the manual and take a trip out for a weekend to try different combinatioins in different lighting conditions. I have tried it at the beach with the kids running around; birds walking at the beach; lizards at tree branches; and fireworks at night. Nothing but great results.
The various shooting options that you get with this camera and the many many perks are the perfect step-up from straight forward point n' shoot to more flexible shooting. I'm more than satisfied with my purchase.
The only two cons so far are; (i) horrible lens cap (I would pay 10% more to get a self-retractible lens cap) and (ii) plastic of camera body feels a bit cheap (I guess I'm just used to Canon's metal body).

Great zoom, great pics, slow startup

The vr on the camera takes clear pics when zoomed all the way out even when your not holding it completely still.It can be sluggish to start up when I try to take a pic in a hurry. I love the camera and would recommend it

Love the Nikon Coolpix P80 camera!

Fabulous camera... even for the shaky beginner, it takes flawless pictures.

The best feature is the 1-finger zoom that lets me "stage" the picture very quickly, together with the easy to use special settings and menus to ensure that my picture doesn't suffer from the dreaded 3B's: blurry, boring or bleached out, even from a moving tour bus on a European highway!

Our best picture was taken from a boat in an underground cave, in almost total darkness, with just a bit of light reflecting off the underground lake.

We paired our camera with a small bag and an 8GB SD chip, plus an extra battery which we carried with us fully charged. Thus we could change the battery on the fly and never ran out of power.

Amazon's order came quickly and securely, thanks!!!!

This camera is everything I had hoped for and more! I was trying to replace a 35mm Minolta with several lenses, flash equip. etc. I think this will do it.
