Nikon COOLPIX P80 review
Nikon ?€?zooms?€? in on performance with the new COOLPIX P80 with
18x optical zoom and in-camera VR image stabilization Packing the power of
10.1 megapixels and integrating Nikon?€™s innovative EXPEED?„?
digital imaging system technologies, the P80 captures fine details and
offers the creative freedom to crop and edit camera images. Legendary Nikon
optics in an 18x Zoom-NIKKOR lens covers focal lengths from 27-486mm (35mm
format equivalent) and when combined with the in-camera VR image
stabilization, steady shots are ensured while utilizing the camera?€™s
versatile zoom capabilities. The P80 lets you tap into the creativity of
digital SLR functions while maintaining the simplicity of COOLPIX models by
offering Programmed Auto [P], Shutter-priority Auto , Aperture-priority
Auto [A] and Manual [M] modes. An all-new Sport Continuous Mode lets you
shoot as many as 30 consecutive pictures at four, six or a rapid 13 frames
per second.?? With light sensitivity ranges up to ISO 6400??, its
easier to capture more natural-looking photos with minimal light, or
fast-moving subjects with stunning clarity. Composing and reviewing photos
is easier too, on the large, 2.7-inch LCD monitor with anti-reflection
coating, wide-viewing angle and 230,000 dots of high resolution. A new
graphical user interface has an enhanced pop-up design that allows for more
precise menu navigation and interaction. An eye-level electronic viewfinder
is also available for quick and easy viewing in challenging lighting
conditions. Nikon?€™s trademark In-Camera Innovations; In-Camera
Red-Eye Fix?„?, D-Lighting and enhanced Face-Priority AF are
incorporated into the P80 to make picture-taking easier and the results
more desirable. There is even quick access to a selection of 15 different
scene-optimized and Movie modes and the ability to shoot pictures in both
black-and-white and colour simultaneously. Expeed?„? ?€“ The New
State-of-the-Art Image-Processing System, only from Nikon Built on
