Strengths: - 18x Zoom, 10.2 MP, quick start

Weaknesses: none,everything +Ve

Summary: P80 is a wonderful camera with a great zoom and picture quality, I bought this despite some negative remarks on this product by trusting Nikon, I had Nikon S50 before.Once you buy this camera, you need to go through the manual and there you can see all the solutions for the people who wrote negative remarks. I guess out of 100 purchases? only 5 or 6 guys wrote a -ve review who did not look into detail remaining 95 owners are happy and smiling at those reviews.It has detailed picturization for indoor, outdoor,beach, snow, fireworks etc tons of features.This is a great buy.Hope this helps.

Strengths: Many Features

Weaknesses: Needs a Better Lens Cap

Summary: I purchased this cmaera for my wife we acctually went through several of the nikon and canon compact cameras which had issues of either size or Image qualityThe P80 is the right size and has a feature set that as your experience grows this camera will meet your needs

Strengths: Great zoom....18X, Wide angle, Simple controls, Fantastic 2.7'' Display, Great grip, easy to use, Fantastic picture quality, Very good video quality

Weaknesses: Making noice in Sports mode, Taking more than 2.5 sec for the first shot, no remote control, looks more plastic, no raw file support, battery life is average.

Summary: I have bought this Coolpix P80 with the brand Nikon in mind. This a great camera with SLR feeling. I love this camera because of the picture quality. Sports mode it is taking 13 shots/sec..!!!, but it is making lot of noise that is sort of disturbing. Auto focus is sort of hunting & so it is making sound I guess. But in video recording the clicking sound is really bad. The flash is manual control, not popping up automatically(It is an advantage sometimes). I would like to have a remote control like Sony H9, hopefully Nikon will have this in future models. I have compared this with SP570, Cannon S5, Sony H9 - it is amazing. I love the camera. Novice can use this camera as well as Professional photographer can use this camera for better quality pictures. I will recommend this camera for sure.......

Strengths: Zooooooooooom!! great!!Great design....and Grip!!Lens cover and strap comes with it!!Powerful internal flash!DOF is very good it has F/2.8..WowVery detail!! You could see everything in close...

Weaknesses: When you have low light...it has some noise...

Summary: Overall..it is very good camera...However, it is not good at low light condition..Zoom really works and digital zoom is pretty good!!Also, it has very soft and good feel grip!!Design is also very good it looks like DSR

Strengths: Awesome quality of photos with its colors

Weaknesses: Vivration of Sports mode

Summary: After two days, I found something wrong with this camera. I tested several options. Then I started testing some actions with sports mode. Then my hand which holding the camera felt some vivration & dull & sporadic sounds. I returned it to the Best Buy & the techentian checked & I got fully refunded. I realized that I purchased it because of the reputation of the Nikon. It was my fault not to take tests beforehand.
