| Review (Summary): "The Nikon Coolpix P80 is the first ever "super-zoom" compact camera from Nikon, with its 18x zoom lens providing a massive focal range of 27-485mm. The Nikon P80 can easily cope with everything from wide-angle landscapes and close-up buildings, head and shoulder portraits, sports and even wildlife and bird photography, all from a discrete camera that weighs less than 400g and can fit inside a small bag. ...
... The Coolpix P80 is an excellent first attempt at a super-zoom camera by Nikon, but it's ultimately let down by image quality that is worse than some of its main rivals...." |

| Review (Summary): "For megazoom shooters, the Nikon Coolpix P80's 18x zoom, 27-486mm-equivalent f/2.8-4.5 lens likely sits at the top of the list of the P80's attractions. The range provides a good combination of wide-angle and telephoto views at relatively wide maximum aperture values. ...
... Among the handful of 18x megazoom models-the Panasonic FZ18, old-ish Olympus SP-560UZ ... and the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd-the Nikon Coolpix P80 ranks as one of the better ones. ..." |

| Review (Summary): "The latest super-zoom from Nikon, the Coolpix P80 is a high-performance compact camera built to satisfy the needs of camera enthusiasts and family photographers alike. The P80 integrates a 10.1 megapixel CCD image sensor with Nikon’s innovative EXPEED™ digital image processing concept and an 18x optical Zoom-NIKKOR lens designed with the compact and comfortable styling of the Nikon Coolpix brand. ...
... the Nikon Coolpix P80 is a bit of a mixed bag. While loaded with appealing features like the 18x Nikkor zoom, 2.7-inch LCD, high resolution EVF, Vibration Reduction, High ISO capabilities and great image quality, the slower shooting performance, uncomfortable EVF eye piece, amount of noise in high sensitivity photos and slower Face detection system really disappointed us. ..." |

| Review (Summary): "Nikon's Coolpix P80 combines a 10-megapixel sensor with an 18x 'superzoom' lens that offers wide-angle shooting at the equivalent of 27mm in 35mm format. The overall zoom range (which extends to the equivalent of 486mm) provides a useful span of focal lengths with relatively wide maximum apertures. ...
... Outdoor shots taken in bright sunlight were similar to shots taken with the P5100 in that highlights were often blown and shadows blocked up. However, colored fringing was much less evident and Imatest showed lateral chromatic aberration to be generally low. ..." |

| Review (Summary): "This model offers 10.1 million effective pixels on a 1/2.33-inch CCD, with a total population of 10.7 million pixels. The camera's most significant feature though is its 18x optical zoom, covering a range of 27-486mm in 35mm terms. The camera also has built in vibration reduction (VR) to avoid camera shake, especially useful at the long end of the zoom. ...
... As super-zoom bridge cameras go, the Nikon Coolpix P80 is okay, but there are reservations. While the handling is generally good and instinctual, it feels a bit of a lightweight and it's not the most responsive in the world. Image quality is average too, with good exposure and color, but it's let down by fringing and noise. ..." |
