'The Nikon Coolpix P80 should appeal to serious photographers who desire a full featured wide-angle ultra zoom digital camera with image stabilization.'
'Nikon has introduced a new compact EVF camera with advanced controls.'
'we found the Delete button a little difficult to reach'
'I wasn't terribly impressed with Nikon's version of face detection -- at best I got it to recognize one face in the photo I've been using as a test lately.'
'unique twist lens design'
'a point and shoot digital camera without any really tricky features to confuse you.'
'The camera also preserves the original image so you aren't stuck with the altered result if you don't like it'
'6 megapixel Coolpix S4'
'The twopart design still takes a little getting used to, at least until you realise that holding the screen steady and moving the lens assembly gives the most workable configuration.'
'The key controls are easy to get to, with sensitivity, white balance and image size/quality accessed directly from the mode dial.'
'the Coolpix 8800 forces you to take the additional step of setting the camera to one of its continuous shooting modes--or (if you don't switch to continuous mode) to press the shutter three to five times for a complete bracket.'
'the ISO 400 image is quite noisy, with a lot of missing detail.'
'The Nikon Coolpix 8800 has very impressive specifications.'
'Just a cursory glance at this camera suggests there's a lot of technology that's been plundered from Nikon's current flagship compact, the Coolpix 5700.'
'Clunky, sluggish interface No AF illuminator, poor low light focusing Does not fully support Nikon Speedlites Small LCD No RAW mode yet (most of competition has it) Flimsy plastic door over CF slot No live histogram in record mode'
'Although this was slightly evident in the macro shot, Nikon still blows the competition away, capturing a tiny area of 24 x 18mm – extreme detail is clearly visible in the photo.'
'In contrast to the overall build quality of the camera, the door covering the Type II CompactFlash slot (which also handles IBM Microdrives) feels very flimsy.'
