Imaging-Resource Reviews Nikon Coolpix P80

Imaging-Resource has reviewed the Nikon Coolpix P80 which Nikon claims to be the "world's most compact super telephoto camera,” . The reviewer feels that the imaging perforamce doesn’t justify the $400 price tag. While imaging quality especially exposure and color are good however most images suffer from noise. The 18x optical zoom lens suffers from chromatic aberration and even barrel distortion at wide-angle as notable!

Excerpt from conclusion:
“So while performance is good in terms of speed and usability is decent, the Nikon P80 doesn't quite produce the image quality we like to see.”

The Nikon CoolPix P80, which can safely be labeled as a prosumer camera was recently reviewed by Good Gear Guide. The short review gives the camera thumbs up for its lens, which was found to be sharp. They were quick to point out that the image quality doesn’t disappoint. However the camera is slow and images at higher ISOs disappoint.

Conclusion:
“The P80 from Nikon is an advanced camera with a very capable zoom lens. It’s not as fast as the majority of other advanced cameras we’ve looked at, but the images it captures are rich and sharp.”
