'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.'
'a 1/1.8-inch CCD sensor and 12x optical zoom lens'
'Images shot at high ISOs are noisy.'
'the FZ20 sports a Leica-branded DC Vario-Elmarit zoom with a whopping 12x optical range (35-420mm equiv), though this time without the constant F2.8 aperture.'
'since the right-hand grip is thin and short, the camera feels somewhat awkward to handle.'
'Our daylight photo exhibited very good sharpness, but a color shift toward magenta--which artificially saturates the colors--lowered our impression of the image.'
'The resolution isn't terribly high, with 130,000 pixels'
'DMC-FZ5, however, makes clear distinction in the point of body size and usability, by which nonexclusive users can enjoy the deeper world of photography'
'longer battery life, a repositioned shutter release and improved grip design, larger LCD screen,'
'The FZ20 is relatively large and heavy'
'Two small buttons are positioned directly behind the zoom control and shutter'
