'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 superb optical 3x zoom(equivalent to 35-105mm on a 35mm film camera) Lumix DC Vario lens, and bright 2.0-inch LCD.'

'the Canon PowerShot S3 IS's combination of features, performance, and relatively compact design certainly gives megazoomers a compelling alternative.'

'S3 shooters have a fast, accurate, and very quiet ultra-zoom digital camera that's capable of capturing reasonably sharp handheld shots at shutter speeds that are beyond the ability of other (non IS) long zoom digital cameras.'

'It offers just about everything you want in a camera, from a big zoom lens to optical image stabilization to manual controls to a fancy movie mode.'

'the FZ3 sports a Leica-branded DC Vario-Elmarit zoom with a whopping 12x optical range (35-420mm equiv) and a constant F2.8 aperture.'

'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,'

'Two small buttons are positioned directly behind the zoom control and shutter'

'Is this the ultimate "big very good bundle.'

'it's just too much of a fun camera.'
