    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    Strengths: incredible zoom, sports mode that takes multiple shots in a row, lightweight, comfortable in hands, takes great photos.

    Weaknesses:Makes a constant and weird "whirring" and "clicking" sound when set to Sports Mode. Long wait between flash shots.

    Overall Evaluation: I can hear and feel the "whirring" sound when this camera is set to Sports Mode. Is this normal? I bought this at Costco and I have 90 days to try it out. At this point, I think I may return it because of the annoying sound. It sounds broken. As long as it's in this mode, the camera continuously clicks and whirs. I read now that many reviewers are complaining about the same thing. I was going to exchange this for a new one, but I think it's an internal camera defect. Would anyone like to clarify? Takes a few seconds to store photo before I can take another shot. Takes even longer when I use the flash to take the next photo. Sometimes on the LCD screen, it tells me to wait!

    Duration of ownership: 4 Days

    Strengths: - 18x Zoom, 10.2 MP, quick start

    Weaknesses:none,everything +Ve

    Overall Evaluation: P80 is a wonderful camera with a great zoom and picture quality, I bought this despite some negative remarks on this product by trusting Nikon, I had Nikon S50 before.Once you buy this camera, you need to go through the manual and there you can see all the solutions for the people who wrote negative remarks. I guess out of 100 purchases? only 5 or 6 guys wrote a -ve review who did not look into detail remaining 95 owners are happy and smiling at those reviews.It has detailed picturization for indoor, outdoor,beach, snow, fireworks etc tons of features.This is a great buy.Hope this helps.

    Strengths: Great zoom....18X, Wide angle, Simple controls, Fantastic 2.7'' Display, Great grip, easy to use, Fantastic picture quality, Very good video quality

    Weaknesses:Making noice in Sports mode, Taking more than 2.5 sec for the first shot, no remote control, looks more plastic, no raw file support, battery life is average.

    Overall Evaluation: I have bought this Coolpix P80 with the brand Nikon in mind. This a great camera with SLR feeling. I love this camera because of the picture quality. Sports mode it is taking 13 shots/sec..!!!, but it is making lot of noise that is sort of disturbing. Auto focus is sort of hunting & so it is making sound I guess. But in video recording the clicking sound is really bad. The flash is manual control, not popping up automatically(It is an advantage sometimes). I would like to have a remote control like Sony H9, hopefully Nikon will have this in future models. I have compared this with SP570, Cannon S5, Sony H9 - it is amazing. I love the camera. Novice can use this camera as well as Professional photographer can use this camera for better quality pictures. I will recommend this camera for sure.......
