 I Love My Nikon P80 October 10, 2008
When I was looking to upgrade from my old Kodak C-300 series, I did a bit of shopping around, but the choice was either a Nikon or Canon even though the old Kodak served me well and I am not getting rid of it. (It gave me beautiful pictures of a recent holiday, but I needed a bit more power and function).
After looking around at the Olympus SP570, Kodak Z1285, Kodak Z812, the Canon S51S and the P80, I narrowed it down to the last two. I read some of the other reviews and I was a bit hesitant, but I decided on the latter and I have no regrets.
My P80 has taken some absolutely fantastic shots once I read the manual and got the settings right. I changed the IS0 to 400 and use a fine quality. The closeups are clean and sharp and I have taken a few with the sports action setting.
I am still learning how to use a lot of the stuff. One of the drawbacks is that it is very unstable when you crank it all the way up to 18x, but I doubt I will need to do that very often.
I also bought the kit with the battery charger etc. and that has been great as well. But don't just take it from me. Try it for yourself!
Good small camera October 6, 2008
I purchased the Coolpix for business pictures in my office. The camera offer good performace at a very affordable price. Highly recommended purchase if you are looking for a quality and easy to use camera.
 Serious hardware problem faced October 3, 2008

Nikon P80 worked wonderfully for about a month. Then I found the image at minimum zoom had a black ring on the left side of the screen. This disappeared on zooming.
Got it repaired, there was some problem with the lens assembly, I was told. But now the camera is not the same as a new one in its feel.
As I bought the camera in US and am in India now, couldn't get any free service or replacement due to some international warranty issues, I was told by Nikon India office in Mumbai; had to pay a hefty sum for the repairs. Was thoroughly disappointed with the experience.
This is a great camera if you know what you're doing October 3, 2008
Like all the other reviews, if you read the manual and actually try to learn how to use this camera, then it is great. If you don't know what you're doing and are not willing to learn. Then you are going to be one of the negative review writers on here. It is as simple as that.
I had a pretty high level knowledge of cameras going into this purchase but I still found myself doing quite a bit of reading to get the hang of all the settings to make the photos come out just right.
I absolutely recommend this camera to people who are very serious about their photos and don't just want a point and shoot camera. But this is also not for highly advanced users who would be better off with a DSLR and different lenses. This is the in between camera for people who call them selves amateur photographers but are too broke to buy a DSLR.
One more comment about Nikon products in general. They are built to last, if something breaks it is probably a fluke, check your camera over when you get it and you should feel that it is built tough. My last Nikon was run over by a car after being dropped from my moving vehicle. It was still in one piece and looked in such good condition that I thought it would turn on. It did not, but it held up so well to that kind of extreme. I was able to pop out the memory card and battery for use in this new camera. This was an older version of the P series you are looking at on this page too.
Buyer beware... September 27, 2008

I bought the camera for my wifes b-day. What a nice looking camera and it had all the functuality that one needs for a camera in this price range. The problem, our when taking pictures of our daughter playing in her soccer games, we noticed on sports mode that there was a green line on every third picture. Every third picture had a green line running down it. We took it back to Best Buy where the manager swapped it our for another camera, exactly like it, a Nikon Coolpix 10.1. While we were there, the Geeksquad guy came by and said lets take a look at the model, the one in store that they show potential customers. Guess what? It did the samething. So we opened the new camera, took it out of the case, fired it up on sports mode and guess what? It did the samething. Best Buy pulled the camera from the display and has sent the 7 back to the manufacture. True story. This happened at the Best Buy in Cedar Park, Texas. We then bought the Sony Cybershot for about $425, and we love it. Plus the Cybershot lets you take pictures rapidly with zero lag time. Thanks Nikon. Go Sony.
