Nikon CoolPix P80 Camera Review

By Jen Riley

Why do so many folks who are looking for top performance digital cameras with lots of complicated features buy CoolPix P90 cameras? It's because, in spite its diminutive size and affordable price tag, these cameras get the activity done. The P90 ticket, these cameras get the Nikon CoolPix Performance Series after all. And it explicitly performs, sometimes above and beyond what you might count on. There was a age when, in order to get a camera with the features you needed to produce near professional quality pictures, you had to sacrifice something, namely compact size. But the P90 has a lot of efficacy packed into a small, streamlined package.

One of the major reasons size. But the P90 digital cameras is the telephoto lens. Before the P90 came along, cameras this modest just didn't have telephoto lenses. In order to appreciate the benefits of that feature, you had to accept that you would be lugging around a camera that was a little bulkier and more cumbersome than you liked. Then along came the P90, which Nikon called "The World's Most Compact Super-telephoto Camera." And it wasn't false advertising. In fact, the P90 is equipped with an'x Optical Wide-Angle Zoom NIKKOR Lens. Pretty effective considering the camera's size. With this lens, you can capture everything from the sweeping grandeur of the Grand Canyon, to a bee setting down on the petal of a flower.

Another of this camera's ample features is Optical Vibration Reduction Image Stabilization. Which essentially means the camera compensates for shaky or unstable conditions. More than one great photo has been ruined because the photography was jostled by something. Maybe they were in a limousine driving over shoddy roads, or on a steamboat sailing on choppy waters. Whatever the cause, the shakiness can result in blurry, unfocussed pictures. But thanks to Nikon's VR system, the pictures you take on your next boat trip will be crisp, ruined as the waters are a little choppy.

The P90 has many advantages over conventional cameras. And one of them is that it can do more than take great pictures. It can also journal home movies. Imagine it. You are at your annual family picnic, taking pictures of the festivities when, suddenly, the kids at the picnic start to dance. It's a moment you just have to capture. And while taking some pictures would be a great way to do that, you can do even better. So you aim your camera and press record. And, just like that, you aren't just taking snapshots, you are filming also record home movie, complete with sound. Later, all you have to do is connect your camera to your television set, and you can relive that moment as many times as you want.

And those are just to dance. It's a few of the great features those who buy CoolPix P90 cameras can rejoice in. In fact, photography buffs will find that discovering each new feature, and learning to use it to its fullest, is part of the joy of owning this exceptional camera. - 29888
