The Coolpix P80 is a point-&-shoot digital camera thats like an SLR but doesnt have interchangeable lenses. Why bother? Its got an 18x optical zoom range from wide-angle 27mm to super-telephoto coverage 486mm. So the Coolpix P80 is like a hybrid SLR. Its got modes that might excite the SLR enthusiast but its also simple to use. And theres no fumbling with lenses because youve got an incredibly long focal range from the one lens on the P80. It does still and movie modes and has vast image capacity on optional SD and SDHC memory cards. This is the perfect all-around digital camera.

Just the Thing for documenting a Quick Trip
I like this camera I just returned from a three-week trip to Italy Holland and London and I found my Nikon P80 to be easy to manage after several readings of the manual. Not too small the P80 fits comfortably into my hands and does not wobble as the smaller cameras tend to do. Although I do miss taking splendid photos with my 1974 Rollei SLR with the three lenses and polarizer I do not miss the weight the limitations of rolls of film and the encumbrances of all the accompanying paraphernalia. I especially like the P80 because it is inconspicuous and one can get candid shots of street life without being intrusive. The easily managed diopter allowed me to use the viewfinder without my glasses. The monitor made it easy to view photos quickly and the battery charger worked splendidly I took two Nikon batteries and charged one every night.. I was also pleasantly surprised at the macro feature which allowed me to copy family photos from my brother-in-laws album which were taken in the 1940s and 50s. As other reviewers have suggested reading the manual is indispensable but one ought not to be tied to it. For instance I discovered that in the northern latitudes with their bright autumn light so beloved by the Dutch painters the "sunset" setting worked better than the automatic or even the plain "landscape" settings I didnt care much for the automatic setting which tended to over-expose the pictures. I also experimented using the shutter and aperture priorities took night pictures that were eventually successful and discovered the video option getting some fantastic shots of the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace As I discovered when I downloaded the photos onto my computer--a painless process--the sound of the guards commands and their marching feet as well as the clip-clop of the horses hooves comes through loud and clear. Unfortunately so does the yak-yak of the surrounding tourists. Not knowing how much memory I would be using I took two 4G memory cards and shot 1800 pictures and 31 short videos which improved remarkably during the second week as I was getting used to the intricacies of the camera and was recovering from jet-lag. As a result I have a thorough documentation of my trip which I wouldnt have gotten with a cumbersome SLR. Although for the next trip which I shall take by myself and take my time I might invest in a real DSLR with a polarizing lens the Nikon P80 was perfect for what proved to be whirlwind tour of Europe. And any lapses in color or light and shadow Ill compensate for for with my Adobe CS3.

Great Value and Performance
This camera gives you plenty of features for the money. I did a lot of research before buying and I am well satisfied with my choice. The Nikon Coolpix P80 has performed well is easy to operate out of the box and is a great choice for those of us who want more performance than a point and shoot digital but cant justify going the SLR route. I read online that it had a slow reaction time but with the various modes I have had no trouble snapping photos of my dog birds etc. I am still learning more about its features using the manual but I was able to figure most of it out on my own: the menus are easy. For some more specific advanced settings it does take a minute to get it situated but that doesnt often come up and is pretty standard. I would reccomend it to anyone in the market.

Happy with the P80
I bought this camera as an upgrade to my point and shoot. I wanted higher quality greater creative control and that 18x zoom without having to spend DSLR prices and carrying bulky lens. I was worried due to some of the negative reviews. After owning this camera 5 mos and taking thousands of primarily landscape and wildlife pics I am very happy with my purchase. The camera does require reading the manual carefully and taking some time to experiment with the different settings. In the beginning I took some blurry pics but with some patience and practice I am getting great shots out of this camera. It is light weight easy to use and the ability to rapidly change from a wide angle shot to a closeup zoom in is great. It is not a DSLR but is a versatile high-quality camera that allows you to learn and expand your photographic skills and produce some great shots.
