Claiming to be the world’s most compact ultra-zoom camera, the Nikon CoolPix P80 includes 10 megapixels resolution with 18x optical zoom, ability to click 30 consecutive pictures at 13fps in Sport Continuous Mode (for 3 mega pixel images only), capability to shoot at 6 fps or at 4 fps, 4x digital zoom and macro shooting.

The S52 costs $250 (approx. Rs. 10,000) and will be available in a purplish black with gloss silver color options, whereas the S52 will retail for $280 (approx. Rs. 11,200) and will come with seven colors choice. Both the digital cameras are expected to hit the shelves by this May. Nikon’s P80 DSLR camera is slated to roll out in April for $399.95 (approx. Rs. 15,960).
The P80 is not a DSLR camera by any means so drop DSLR in the titles
hey guys this is great ………….plz lemme know ven this is comin to india and vat will b the estimated cost of it……………………………..
I have been waiting for a long time for a super zoom camera from the Nikon stable as their slr’s r way too expensive for hobbyist like me. If one was to go for a Nikon DSLR and a 18x equvelent lens kit it would require lakhs, while as the P80 could be purchased abroad for 12000 to 16000 depending on vendors.
My only dissapointment is that their rival Olympus already has a super zoom camera that offer 20 x range. Therefore Nikon would have fared better had they directly gone for atleast 22x if not 20x. This mistake of Nikon is going to gift Olyumpus a big chunk of the super zoom market. Nikon is not going to offer 20x for another year thats bad news.
hey guys can u let me know the price of p80 please, they ve jus converted dollars into rupees on yhis site…
