I LOVE this camera! December 21, 2008

My guy is jealous and thinks I'm having a LOVE affair with this camera...and he's right!
Many years ago I had the 35mm experience. All the lenses and the big camera bag and the heavy camera. But it was fun and it was all we had then.
NOW we have DIGITAL and SWEET little lightweight cameras like this NIKON P80. My favorite lense on the 35mm was the wide angle zoom so when I saw this camera with similar lense I just had to try it. Sure, it's a little bigger than the point & shoots but OH what pictures I get with this guy.
It is so compact and has great balance in your hand. The zoom is so smooth,I told my friend that he could learn a few tricks from my camera..... (more reasons he thinks I love it more than him....)

Another feature I love is the electronic viewfinder for those bright sunshine days when the LCD screen is hard to see, or just for us old fashioned people who learned to shoot this way. Oh, and Battery life is outstanding. unlike my Cannon that drains a battery in an hour of shooting.

Cameta shipped my order out within two days and I received the whole package a day sooner than expected. Great Job!

I give this camera 5 stars and would rate it higher if they'd let me.
I SIMPLY LOVE IT!!!

PRETTY AS A PICTURE December 14, 2008
I HAVE HAD A BALL TAKING PICTURES WITH THIS CAMERA SINCE IT CAME IN THE MAIL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. IT IS INCREDIBLY EASY TO USE, AND TAKES THE ERRORS OUT OF SHOTS IF YOU GIVE IT THE TIME. IT HAS ITS LIMITATIONS, OF COURSE, BUT FOR THE PRICE YOU GET THE BELLS AND WHISTLES USUALLY ONLY OFFERED ON CAMERAS TWICE THE PRICE. IT IS THE TOP OF THE LINE FOR THE AMATUER PHOTOGRAPHER.

Compact, versatile learning tool September 7, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I purchased this camera just before departing on a vacation to Glacier Bay, Alaska. I didn't have the time (or the patience) to learn many of the manual options provided, so relied on the automatic settings for most shots, ranging from close-ups of delicate ferns to mountain vistas. Most shots came out fine - some spectacularly so - but many suffered from the limitations of the automatic functions, which can only guess what you are trying to accomplish with each shot. To take full advantage of this camera, you are going to have to devote some time to understanding how to manipulate the manual functions to achieve your photographic objectives. By then, you may be wishing you purchased a digital SLR, but I think I'm going to be satisfied with improving the images I try to capture with this camera for some time to come. The lenses and resolution (and sunk cost) make it worth enduring the steep learning curve required to take consistently good pictures (before they're gone - I often found myself struggling to make the camera do what I wanted before the eagle flew by or the whale submerged). As to how this compares to other ultra-zooms out there, I cannot say except to note the size and weight advantage of the Nikon (plus the brand image) which led me to choose it after reading all the reviews.

I looked at cameras from many manufacturers and finally decided upon the Nikon P80 in the super zoom category. I wanted to upgrade from my tiny and very slow pocket-size camera, but didn't want to jump into changing lenses with DSLRs. I'm happy with this super zoom camera and have will have lots of fun learning everything it can do! (and I like that it was bundled on Amazon with lots of extras!)
