PhotographyBLOG has done a review on Nikon’s CoolPix P80 digital camera. The CoolPix P80 comes with a 10 Megapixel image sensor, a 18x optical zoom lens with 27mm wide angle, ISO sensitivity up to 6400 and optical image stabilization.
Comments from PhotographyBLOG:
The P80 is impeccably built, even more impressive given its budget price-tag, and the uncluttered design makes it very intuitive to use, albeit at the cost of relying more heavily on the menu system to access certain key features. The 18x lens is obviously the star of the show, and for most photographers the Nikon Coolpix P80 will cover all the bases, with the exception of ultra-wide angle pictures…..Performance is less impressive, with a brief but noticeable lock-up between single images and a disappointingly slow continuous shooting speed, although focusing is quick and accurate even at the telephoto end of the zoom.
Pentax Optio W60 is a compact waterproof digital camera. It features a 10 megapixel CCD image sensor, 28mm wide angle, 5x optical, 5.7x digital zoom, 6400 ISO sensitivity, 1cm super macro and 2.5-inch LCD with IPS.
