Nikon's latest P-series model, the P80, is equipped with a host of manual and digital features for image control, while retaining traditional handling.

Nikon CoolPix P80 review

 

Who needs an SLR? The Nikon P80 offers the same exposure modes at half the price

Easy to use ; Compact and solid

Poor quality viewfinder ; Awkward to handle ; Slow autofocus

The P80 demonstrates the gulf between what looks good on paper and what works well in practice. Yes, it does have an 18x zoom and image stabilisation, but the AF is too slow to make those long shots feasible, and the electronic viewfinder is inferior...

Nikon Coolpix P80 digital camera

 

The Nikon P80 is the company's new flagship zoom digital camera offering a whopping 18x optical zoom in a small, compact-ish case, but will it get you into the action? Following our play with a pre-production evaluation sample we got our hands on the...

18x optical zoom, large display

Bulky, some features are only available at 3 megapixels, plenty of noise on images, EVF is awkward to use

If you are looking for a big zoom in a small package then the P80 will give you just that. There are some really nice features on here like the distortion control that will correct the distortion caused by the lens.

Nikon Coolpix P80 review

 

The 35mm equivalent focal range of the 10.1Mp, 18x optical zoom Nikon Coolpix P80 starts at a wide angle 27mm and stretches all the way up to 486mm, allowing for a broad variety of compositions and subject matter.

The Nikon Coolpix P80 is a competent all rounder, if not particularly trailblazing in any way.

Nikon Coolpix P80 review

 

With reduced dimensions and a weight of only 365 grams, the P80 is a very compact bridge camera – therefore a multipurpose and handy device that you can take everywhere with you. Taking into account that it has no less than a 18x lens, this is worth...

Nikon often takes advantage of its know-how in exposure management (cf the 3D colored matrix exposure of D300s). The P80 offers a correct exposure inside but tends to overexpose bright lights, which destroys fine details in high tonalities. Of course,...
