Editors' Comments

Nikon's Coolpix P80 is a robust superzoom compact of the sort usually referred to as "bridge cameras"--a bridge between the snapshooting possible with the average compact digital camera and the infinite possibilities of a digital SLR. Featuring a 10-megapixel sensor matched with an 18x optically-stabilized zoom wide angle lens, full manual controls, and a huge ISO range of 64-6400, this camera can cover a wide range of shooting conditons with ease. Packed into a compact frame, it nevertheless offers a 2.7-inch LCD screen as well. It's an ideal choice for those not quite ready to make the leap to the dSLR class.
