Nikon is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX P80, a new high-performance compact camera model designed for photography enthusiasts.
Built on a custom application of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image processing concept and incorporating the precision optics of a NIKKOR lens, the COOLPIX P80 offers advanced features for advanced performance.
The new model offers outstanding imaging quality with 10.1 effective megapixels of sharp resolution and a new digital image processing engine that faithfully reproduces fine details and subtle tones. The COOLPIX P80 also delivers a quick response, as well as maintaining image quality and clarity when taking advantage of extended light sensitivity settings as high as ISO 6400. In addition, this model also benefits from the clarity, precision and broad range of an 18x Zoom-NIKKOR lens that covers focal lengths from 27-486mm (35mm format equivalent). Sensor shift VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilisation adds extra reassurance for sharper, clearer images.
The COOLPIX P80 is a versatile photographic tool that is able to handle a wide variety of shooting styles. Features include a well-proportioned and highly functional body design with a rubberised grip and a thumb rest for added stability. The black leather-tone finish pays tribute to the COOLPIX P80’s roots as a quality Nikon camera.
Intuitively placed controls are designed to simplify and streamline camera operation. Dedicated Command and Mode dials can be operated using one hand, providing easy access to shooting controls and exposure mode settings (including four advanced exposure modes) that offer photographers of any skill greater shooting control. And with new Sport Continuous Mode, users can shoot as many as 30 consecutive pictures at 13 fps.
A new electronic viewfinder enables accurate composition while providing important information under all lighting conditions.
