Nikon COOLPIX P80 - First Impression Video by DigitalRev

[naanaa1111]

How do you get the video to take long videos? My sister has one and can only take a minute. She doesn't know the settings to increase the time. Thanks!

[obbym4sta]

I've been using point and shoot for a while and feel it's time to move to a DSLR should I get the p80, p90, p100 as an upgrade?

[kuyapjdotcom]

old superzoom camera, only now has superzooms been abit more popular. i Recommend the Fuji HS20 with 30x opitical zoom auto or manuel focus n sweeping panoramic as well as slow motion video

[luseja]

a big pocket camera

[omgzJENNA]

when he said 10 point ithought he said tampon

[rensper]

fuji finepix S2800Hd is better than this.

[kohjack06]

i can blur backgrounds on small subjects, but i cant in larger subjects can someone help me how to do it?? i use p80...

[omgzJENNA]

i love the zoom :D

[TynLouRockefeller]

Err sorry.. but i thought p80 have a electronic manual focus in the manual mode and i usually used that.

[Ipergorilla]

Dear reviewer: your thumb is CREEPY when you bend it backwards!.

[LiamGiles94]

[MrMrPaparazzi]

[LiamGiles94]

[HAILTHETH1EF]

the NEEKON

[TonyJames95]

CIRCLES AND CIRCLES AND CIRCLES!

[TheSuperProfessional]

I don't see why people just can't get a DSLR.

[librarianeric]

No kidding. And as long as you don't care about having the very newest model, you can get lots of great gear USED. All my Nikon bodies (F4, D1, D100, D2x), my Mamiya, my Canon XL2 and all my various lenses were bought used, mostly through Craigslist.

[mamba109]

DSLRs are like 2, 3, 4x more expensive. You need bulky bags to carry multiple lenses. Nice lenses are extremely expensive and some cost half of a super-zoom. Constantly switching lenses will mean more chances of getting dust between lens and body.

I own a DSLR and more times than not, I bring my super zoom because I don't want to keep fidgeting around with that stuff. They can take near DLSR quality pics, assuming you're not a pixel nazi that views 10MP+ photos at 100%.

[JbhFilm]

Money.

[abomberz]

nice camera, but it`s still too big (

and i can`t choose what to bye. Some Coolpix or Sony

[TheSuperProfessional]

Coolpix.

[marcoscb2009]

OMG IM GOING MAAAAD!!!!!

Can someone help me choose between:

Sony DSC Hx1

Nikon P80

Nikon P90

Or should i pick another (of course based on that style and price)

PLEASE HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!!

[Robertmcmahon1994]

i'd go with the P90 out of those three. sony needs to stick to making playstations, and the P90 is pretty much a better-enhanced version of the P80.

Go with the P90.

[ging3rina]

Question: the P90 make a good quality of pictures??... some people say No, I wanna know coz I want to buy a P90!

thanks.

[Robertmcmahon1994]

well quality, i cannot comment on; as i have a P80. before the P90 came out, i would say the P80 was the best point and shoot camera in the Nikon department. takes great pictures, and wonderful features. BUT then came along the P90, which is pretty much the same, the look exactly the same, except it it has a few more features, like a farther zoom, and a higher megapixel resolution. so yeah, go with the P90. i would imagine it's a fantastic camera.

[HolyPhuckingBalls]

Go Old School. Get an SX70 Sonar. =]

[Emack876]

same as picture and no

[Emack876]

lol he sais neekon

[llovedead]

what's the best .

canon G10 or nikon p80 ?

can you tell me >

thank's

[llovedead]

i test this and p90 ..

that's good then p90 .

why? p80 is better then p90 .

thank's verey mutch for you're video .

[Mirmidon87]

how much zoom can you do while recording video ?? also..can you take a picture while recording video ? thnks :) !

[marinell8228]

hey can you make a review about the nikon p90. talk about everything about it

[marinell8228]

does anyone have a nikon coolpix p90? can someone make a video about it??

[james106810]

can you get a waterproof case for it?

[rosenseeu]

This camera has a defect, simply switch it to sports mode and put it up to your ear and you will know, that is why NIKON introduced the P90, which will be out in March - 24X Zoom, 12.1mp. If you dont want either go with the SX10 which is a great camera. Im buying p90!

[tomfromqueens]

I want the p90 as well, but isnt it available already? ive seen it for $400 on couple of websites...

[LightninFire]

I'm buying the p90 too :D

[marinell8228]

yeah me to It much better.

[Boobarella112]

I saw many revieuws, and they said that the p80 was better..

The p90 has more MP, I know, but the conclusion on those (profession) sites was that the p80 better is than the p90

[supernovadvu8765]

look even i am in the same dilemma ...i hav gone through various websites and hav met many people and most of the people suggested canonsx10 is bcz of da colors and image clarity also it has rotatable lcd which nikon p80doesnt have apart from that it has better image stabilisation mode than p80 although nikon p80 is relatively cheaper than canon but then y not go for a thing having better quality even if you hav to spend few bucks more .i thnk tht shud not b a big deal.

[knut189]

is this camera better? or is better the canon powershot sx10 IS? Please reply me =)

[LightninFire]

I'm buying this! And since i live in australia i can get it for really cheap, it only costs $300 australian dollars ($1 in australia = 50c in america) yay!! It seems like the perfect camera <3

[llc88]

This is the next camera I want to buy...Hmm...

[knut189]

is this camera better? or is better the canon powershot sx10 IS? Please reply me =)

[Usher13012]

It's a music of you or it's a commercial song ?

[etokiReaper]

i've done my research, and i know i'm going to buy this camera. i'm so excited!

does anyone suggest where i should buy it from?

[allexecri]

[Security2U]

I would say amazon

[MariusNBA]

Thank you:)

I think i buy this camera.

[steveon99]

I'm buying this tonight. It's a much better value and quality product than the sony cybershot DSC-H50.

[ronaldartwell]

Im trying to chose between the Nikon Coolpix P80 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50. This video helps!

[greenoasis55]

HAA!!! ME TOO!!! :P

[jailbreaker12334332]

go with the p80!!!! is wayy better

[3x0rcyst3m]

always go with either Nikon, or their competition for NR.1 digital cameras in the world, Canon...never get anything else for photography...video cameras im not sure...

[mikulkajan]

Thank you. You help in my choise of photo

[reflux043]

Great review, thanks. considerin gettin this camera.

[melisaxpatd]

for those of you who have the P80 please tell us about it?? is it hardcore?? i might get one and i want to know if its worth it...

:D

please?!

[314clcr]

Just got one today! You can take some beautiful photos with it after reading the manual.

[theguywhois]

got it last night.... for any type of photography it's amazing. i got mine for 299 on sale.... i use it for skating so the continuous will be amazing. i also will use it for landscapes

[BrettFuzz]

same. i am 13 and i am way into photography. im getting it for the holidays and cannot wait to start taking pictures again... cause my sister smashed the screen of my other one...

[mahamza86]

Sony DCR H50 or Nikon Coolpix P80?

I ve heard H50 has less zoom and battery time.

I wanna buy one, So please help me out

[rschrisv12990rs]

zoom is one of the most inportant things i think also it has 5 video modes and its only 399.99 after using my friends im buying one myself

[LittlePianoMan494]

is this a good photographers camera for a starter?

[s001799]

Definitely! I have it an i'm really diggin it!

[sonu557]

Hey,do you guys think I should buy the Nikon D40 or this one??

[Akiston]

D40 cause it is an SLR camera but youl still have to buy lenses. Still a DSLR takes better pictures and if you want to get in to phototagraphy get the D40,if you just take pics quick then get the P80 and if you want the vid mode. Hope this was helpful and not to late.

[girlegrl54]

great video!!! i just got the P80 a few hours ago!! the battery is charging now, i cant wait to use it and figure everything out!!! (:

[tifa76]

i have a P80 bitches

[IdiotsGon3Wild]

oh shit, hardcore son.

[AlvacadoNlemons]

I <3 My p80!!!!

[gcpict]

I have one, and it's F A N T A S T I C!!!!

[JcWhatCounts20]

I know! I'm getting one for my birthday, about 2 months early actually. I'm not waiting till the 28th of december. How is the picture quality? i hear they are spectacular for a digital point and shoot.

[gcpict]

Sure! warm colours, great zoom 18x, real 10megapixel picture, auto or manual focus, beautiful wideangle objective, best videos(high quality for youtube or tv), and the best system to shot face pictures! In my opinion is the professional solution to make beautiful pictures in a small space camera! buy it and.... happy birthday!!!

[JcWhatCounts20]

Hey thanks! I have done some pretty exhaustive research on the P80 and I have decided whole heartedly to get it.

[gcpict]

Well done!...enjoy it!

[jonturk85]

very nice ;)

[AlvacadoNlemons]

I just got mines through ups. I am so intrigued.

[yopa18]

tengo un pregunta, el objetivo de esta camara se puede cambiar? si alguien sabe responda porfa

[garyfreefly1]

why no lens thread to protect that lens

if it had one I would buy one.........

[1897i]

is this one better than the cheapest DSLR's?

[JcWhatCounts20]

Well, you can't beat DSLR quality, however, for the price, this beats anything you can get in quality for a point and shoot with a larger lens. I say get this if you're looking to take great everyday pictures. I used my friends for some landscape and candid photos downtown and they're great shots! awesome quality for a starter to intermediate.

[tighro]

There's an error: the mic is not on the side of the camera, but in front of it, next to the flash button. On the side there's the speaker, for video playback

[rami10000]

how is the flash in this kind of cameras?

does it do the job? (i know it's worse than the slr's flash)..

[PutRandomNameHere]

rami, if you were still wondering about the flash, I just got one today, and I was surprised at how bright the it was. I've never owned a camera, so I may not be the best judge, but it was a very bright light.

[x3makayla]

please also let me know your thoughts on the canon powershot s5 IS for the same situation as i posted below

thanks ,

:]

[x3makayla]

i've been watching many videos and reading many comments about this video and i've really come to like it

i want to start photography as a hobby and i'm unsure of what camera would be best for me

please message me or reply to this if you have any good recomendations for a starting out photography camera ,

thanks . :)

[olgalucia51]

Would you recommend the Panasonic Lumix FZ18, Sony Cybershot H50 or this camera?

[zarnticolz]

It doesnt have RAW mode and it is noisy at ISO400

[haz0510]

THIS CAMERA VS SONY H50. who gonna win?

i need answer asap.

huh.

[olgalucia51]

I would say this camera because it has better image quality and it is a lot smaller.

(I dont own this camera but ive seen it in shops)

[forisnakiu]

and what about this camera and panasonic lumix fz18, besides megapixels diferences??

[SomeRandomDudeMan]

It can make videos for as long as the memory card can hold- 4 hours on 2 GB. It is not meant to be a DSLR, because that would be counter-productive. It has the same capabilities for photographers of all types, but some disadvantages.

The zoom is phenomenal, and the Vibration Reduction and pop up flash are great features.

This is a great review for a great camera.

[ssssmmmssss]

Can someone tell my which camera is better olympus SP570UZ or this nikon p80 ?

I realy need help :)

Thanks ! ;)

[tricesimo]

I asked a friend of mine, who is a professional photographer the same thing. He said to go with the Nikon because they make better lenses.

The Olympus zoom is 20x compared to 18x for Nikon, but that difference is minimal.

[naldo77]

Please, can someone help me? Which are the advantages or disadvantages of the Nikon Coolpix P80 over the Canon S5?

[DigitalRevCom]

The P80 a has higher resolution, 10.1mp to the S5's 8mp. P80 also has a bigger zoom range, 27-486mm while the s5 is only 36-432mm. The P80 can't manual focus unlike the S5 but P80 trumps it by being able to focus at 1cm compared 10cm on the S5. The p80 has continues shooting of up to 13fps, and a slightly bigger LCD at 2.7 inches. The P80 also weighs less at 405g to the S5's 550g. In short, the Powershot S5 is a pretty good camera but the Coolpix P80 wins on most respects with newer technology.

[naldo77]

Thanks! I went to Best Buy to see the cameras and I am even more perplexed. I really like the zoom range of the Nikon and the color range of the images, but Canon is by far better than Nikon in respect to the functions (software). For example, it is not as fast as the Canon S5. I had a Canon S2 and I had trouble plenty of times with the focusing time. Now, the Canon S5 has amazingly improved it. Also, I believe that Canon S5 is less noisy than Nikon P80. I dont know what to do.

[olgalucia51]

You can manual focus on the Nikon P80 by pressing the Macro buttton where there are 4 options , AF(autofocus ,Macro Mode , Infinity and manual focus. :-)

[marcabane]

P80 cannot zoom while in video mode! You missed that ;p

[JcWhatCounts20]

Eh I have a video camera, I don;t need the P80 for video anyway! I travel with both lol

[TheWhiteSupremacy]

Waste of Money...The D40 takes Far Better pictures by a mile at almost the same cost

[alandlum]

The D40 is nice, but the comparably equip one, you would have to buy a wide angle lens and powerful telephoto zoom lens. The total cost would be at least triple or quadruple the P80.

[lisfub]

nikon p80 or olympus sp 570uz...?! which do you like best?

[montifox1984]

how long can you make videos?

and can anyone tell me which one is better that one or Sony H50?

[goodgbb]

I love this one more than H50 because I love ISO6400 and this one can record unlimited video time.

[r2quinn]

they can be as long as your memory card allows...the indicator in mine shows a 30 minute timer (hell of a long video time)...I have an 8gb card though.

[LTF85199]

Thank you great review!

[MandeepGadgetBoy]

Your reviews are the BEST! | Also being optional in high-quality on YouTube! :-)

[hypeconr]

Yeah it's great, the High-quality is a yoke though.. that is standard on Veoh..
