Most people select a camera to have a convenient way to capture memories while on vacation or during special family events. You are making the right choice by researching the features available on the Nikon Coolpix P80. This versatile camera has all the sophisticated features available in a D-SLR packed into the convenience of an easy to use point and shoot.
Speaking of Advanced features, I am going to give you the inside look. We are going to start with the powerful 18x Optical wide-angle zoom and for all you tech heads 4.7-84.2mm (35mm [135] format picture angle: 27-486mm); f/2.8-4.5. Simply put, this camera has great zoom. Zoom comes into play when you want to get really close shots of a flower or shooting from the top of a mountain.
When shooting from the top of a mountain and using the zoom at the camera's fullest potential you may encounter shacking. Nikon has integrated Image-sensor shift that will help reduce shacking and blurry pictures. And of course blurry photos are just not fun.
Next, we will look at how Nikon has merged a simple automatic camera with the more sophisticated D-SLR capabilities. In automatic mode the user does nothing more than line up the shot and snap the photo. A D-SLR camera requires the user to be able to manually set shutter speed, focal length and light sensitivity.
Set the camera to Manual Mode on the Nikon Coolpix P80, you are able to control everything. You can now have the ability to shoot really fancy lightning shots, poster style river pictures and more. You can set the shutter speed slow to capture cars driving at night and the lights streak across the photos. Or Speed up the shutter to capture a humming bird in flight. The possibilities are endless and most exciting part of controlling your photos are creating your own style.
If you don't want to manually control all the settings you have a few options to isolate some features. You have the option to set your cameras to: Aperture-Priority Auto (A), Auto, Manual (M), Programmed Auto (P), Scene or Shutter-Priority Auto (S)
Are you feeling overwhelmed with all the technical advancements of this camera? The camera has two different personalities, one is the over technical biologist student and the other is the simple elementary teachers. The teacher has so much information in the bag but turns the information into simple activities to allow the students to learn the concepts. Try this teachers approach: Place the dial to Scene and choose one the many options. The camera will decided what needs to be done. Here are the options: Back Light, Beach/Snow, Close Up, Copy, Dusk/Dawn, Face-Priority AF, Fireworks Show, Landscape, Museum, Night Landscape, Night Portrait, Panorama Assist, Party, Portrait, Sports, Sunset, Voice Recording
Choose any of the special effects settings with camera in Scene mode. The camera is capable of: Close Up Photos, Copy, Beach/Snow Setting, Back Light Setting, Dusk/Dawn Setting, Face Photo, Fireworks Show Setting, Landscape Setting, Panorama Assist Setting, Party Mode, Night Portraits, Portrait Setting, Sports Photos, Museum Setting, Night Landscape Mode, Voice Recording Mode or Sunset Lighting Mode
You also have the ability to control the light,. just select settings dial to manually or select one of the following presets: Cloudy day photos, Flash photos, Daylight photos, Incandescent lighting, Fluorescent lighting, White Balance setting, Auto mode
Pros: Powerful features such as Manual Mode or Aperture-Priority Auto (A) A great collection of Scene modes Rechargeable Battery ISO sensitivity 64-6400 Versatile flash features
Cons: Slow uploading to computers. Washed out photos in bight sun. Decrease quality at 18X. Does not have RAW File and Rechargeable Battery (if you forget to charge)
The Conclusion, great camera if you want to dive into the D-SLR realm or have a very powerful point and shoot cameras. I hope you benefited from this article and you are one step closer to capture unforgettable memories.
