'the camera feels fairly sturdy with the exception of the right side, which is capped by plastic with part of it being a door covering the mini HDMI and USB/AV port.'
'Shadow detail is somewhat limited, due mostly to the camera's noise suppression efforts.'
'consumers a great compact camera'
'Screen brightness is manually adjustable (five steps), though even with the brightness maxed, there's too much glare off the display's coating to effectively use the camera in bright, direct sunlight.'
'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.'
'The ISO 200 result is remarkably good and the ISO 400 result is perfectly usable for smaller prints.'
'has a small hesitancy when focussing at the long end of its zoom reach in low contrast light.'
'Its feature set is solid, but not exceptional.'
'The H5 is definitely outclassed by the competition in the continuous shooting department: the Canon PowerShot S3 and Panasonic FZ7/FZ30 can shoot infinitely (with a high speed SD card) at over 2 frames/second.'
'Flash coverage was slightly uneven at wide angle, and the flash actually useless at telephoto (thanks to the long 12x optical zoom range).'
'conversion lens compatible so you can easily add optional telephoto and wide-angle lenses for even greater optical range'
'Just behind the shutter are two buttons: One to choose between various automatic or manual focus modes and another to toggle through drive modes and exposure bracketing'
'The Z612's slow refresh rate probably won't be a deal breaker'
'Kodak's EasyShare Z612 has a ton of useful features, including the normal complement of scene modes plus auto and program modes for people who want simple snapshots, as well as a full array of controls for more advanced shooters'
