Nikon Coolpix P80 review and ratings
At the moment have a couple of cameras in for testing with long zoom lenses. The one I am looking at today is the Nikon Coolpix P80. I can see this camera being popular. Part of this is because of the Nikon brand name. The Coolpix P80 is also capable of taking bright and colourful photos.
As well as the long 18x optical zoom lens the camera has a number of more advanced features. These include manual exposure and manual focusing settings. As well as fully manual exposure you have access to shutter priority and aperture priority. Manual focusing is also available.
To underline the camera’s attraction to sports and wildlife photographers it has a burst mode that can reel off shots at a maximum speed of 13 shots per second when shooting at 3 megapixels. I found the camera could be a bit sluggish when lining up the first shot in the sequence.
For a camera with such a long lens the Coolpix P80 is compact. O.K. it will never fit into a pocket, but it is smaller than other models with extra large zoom lenses.
