5 out of 5 stars Nikon Very Coolpix P80   July 10, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Received the P80 and it is very nice to get back to a camera in the digital realm that is more like one of the full Manual SLR's of yester year. I had given up on toting around the huge body F2 and F3 Nikons that I used to use but I sure always missed all the control that came with all that metal. The P80 with what I have gotten to use of it so far seems to be giving me all that back. If you are a thinking photographer who knows how to use manual settings plus other multi faceted options and wish you had a motor drive also this little camera gives you the digital age plus all that. The 10 megapixels is quite nice to boot. Good package and the shipment was right away with no hassles. Thanks!

This is what practitioners of Kyudo, the Japanese martial archery, seek: "correct hitting is in correct shooting". And this is how this camera makes you feel after mastering and getting used to its controls and abilities.

After months of research I decided and bought this ultrazoom. SLRs take better pictures but I refuse to carry all the extra equipment when on vacation. NIKON P5100 was the choice on the other end but it lacked both the x18 tele and the wide end zoom.

The (close) second contender was OLYMPUS SP-570UZ but here is why I found the NIKON a better choice and did not regret it: although the OLYMPUS comes with a larger zoom (x20) it is controlled solely by an awkward (motorized) ring that requires both hands and has an uneven feeling. Moreover, both cameras sport 10MP but, contrary to the OLYMPUS which just had more mega-pixels crammed onto the old (550 & 560) sensor, the NIKON comes with a newly developed sensor. On top of that, I avoided the slow and limited XD-cards OLYMPUS seems stuck on. On the other hand, I missed on 2mm of wideness and x2 on tele zoom.

I have been using the camera with undiminished enthusiasm for over a week and I have only good things to tell you about it. It took me a while to familiarize myself with the settings - full auto will not get the best results under any conditions. Once that harmonious point is reached though, this is the camera you would want to be using in most situations.
Where it looses the 5th star: the flash does not pop up automatically when needed. Forget to do so under limited light and a high (and noisy) ISO creeps in. So yes, this piece of equipment is not without its caprices...

For the extra $90 one gets an adequate 4GB SD card, a handy Card Reader, a (bulky) Case, an external grip-flash, a moment-saving spare Battery, as well as a 2 year extended coverage. All in all, not a bad deal put expect the price to drop by Independence Day.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle (and Zen masters) warn about the observer altering the event being observed. With NIKON P80 one can obtain the shot visualized either from very close or from afar. And it does so with simplicity and style.
