This camera is the best camera that I have ever had. Yes, there probably are better cameras, but I have never experienced them and this camera works just the way I need it to. This lightweight camera has amazing features and takes the best pictures. My favorite feature on the camera is the rapid action shot. On the dial wheel, you can find it by locating the picture of a runner running. That feature is really good when you need to take pictures of children running and playing around or, my favorite, when you take fireworks. I have gotten some really good shots of fireworks at just the right moment. Shots that would not have been possible if I have not had this shot. All in all, I definitely recommend that you get this camera for all of your photography needs. This lightweight, attractive, reasonably cheap camera is the perfect camera for you!

I bought this camera as a gift for my boyfriend. I didn't want to overwhelm him with a DSLR. This camera works great as a point-and-shoot but with the flexibility of a few more advanced options. But the major selling point of this camera for me was its incredible optical zoom. Most point-and-shoots won't take you to 18x. And I really wanted my gift to rival the more expensive DSLR models. He loves the camera...although I will admit that's partly because it has the famous Nikon brand attached to it. And the rapid-shot mode is totally awesome! It's really cool seeing the frame-by-frame effect when shooting a subject in motion. The closest competition I remember seeing are Canon cameras. If you're shopping for an amateur photo buff, this camera is the perfect fit. They'll get great photos without having to be an expert.

This is a great little camera!
It's light, but still has enough of a body to really hold on to and get a steady shot.
A memory card or two is a must. Set on the highest megapixels, I found that the camera itself will only hold about 39 images, but the memory cards are pretty cheap.
If you're going to take pictures all day, a second battery is a must as well. But if you have down town between shoots or activities, it also charges quickly.
I love my CoolPix P80

i know my cameras and to keep this review short all you need to know is
this camera is SLOW, TERRIBLE quality after iso 200 and ive seen
better performance in a regular point and shoot by canon.

The reviews of the P80 seem to be a "mixed bag" here on Amazon as of late. The camera is focused on being a gateway product between the typical compact or pocket camera's and the entry level DSLR's found on the market. The P80 does require that the user actually read the including Instruction Manual to be able to take full advantage of all features. Many pre-set Scene Modes are available including (Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Party/Indoor, Beach/Snow, Sunset, Dusk/Dawn, Night Landscape, Close Up, Museum, Fireworks, Copy, Backlight, Panorama). The camera is very intuitive and easy to navigate using the bright LCD screen for actions such as changing Scene Modes and reviewing pictures. While I personally love the camera, I can see how others may find it difficult to use in a "point and shoot" setting especially in Auto Mode. If you're just looking to take quick pictures and have no interest in photography, you may want to pass on these higher end compacts all together.
One of the biggest problems I've read about was the Autofocus and how many images would come out blurred. I have not found this to be an issue. Please remember that this camera does not (nor does any other camera) have a brain. You need to tell the P80 what to do as you would with any other device. If you're taking a shot of a subject in the distance and there is something in the foreground of your view, the camera may focus on the foreground image instead while blurring out the intended subject. The user can easily adjust the focus settings appropriately. Again this requires that the user read the Manual and learn the appropriate settings.
The issue of slow recovery time does exist but not only on the P80, but other high end compacts as well. For photography purposes I don't see this as an issue, but for "point and shoot" users this could be a problem.
The 18X zoom is great and comes as advertised.
The Scene Modes work great and so do the Shutter and Aperture priority settings. I would stay away from the Auto Mode as I would normally do with most camera anyways.
Physically the P80 is appealing and does not feel cheap. It's slightly smaller than I expected but I've grown to like that about this camera.
Overall I'm very happy with the Nikon P80 as it delivers on everything it promised in the marketing material. If you're looking for an entry level photography camera give this one a try. Point and Shoot users may want to stick with the compact/pocket digital cameras.
