A Fine Camera, But Too Little Too Late? (DCHQ Editors - 6/5/08)

The Nikon Coolpix P80 is an 18x optical zoom camera competing in a 20x zoom market. But even though the camera is behind the times in the zoom department, its easy of use and sleek design make it an attractive option for extended-zoom buyers. The zoom lens is excellent, and the image stabilization prevents shaking hands from blurring photographs. The P80 is an outmoded extended zoom, but its high-performance makes it worth considering. read original review
