Nikon Coolpix P80

The Nikon Coolpix P80's standout feature has to be its zoom lens. Dominating the P80's SLR-like body, this Nikkor-branded 18x optical zoom offers both true optical image stabilization, and 35mm equivalent focal lengths ranging from a very useful 27mm wide angle through to an equally impressive 486mm. Given that many consumers are likely to want to take photos in relatively enclosed spaces where they can't just back up a bit to fit everything (or everyone) in, wide angle performance is something that's perhaps overlooked too often in the search for greater telephoto strength. It's great to see a lens that offers plenty of reach at both ends of the zoom ran
