Review summary: Does Nikon's superzoom impress?

Pros: Tilting screen, good performance at near end of the zoom, control options once out of auto, light weight

Cons: ISO noise, middle to far end zoom performance poor, buffering delays, electronic viewfinder

Pros: Big zoom; Good build; Nice colour rendition; Articulated screen; Fast shutter lag

Cons: Colour fringing can be quite bad; Noise control still isn't very good; Macro wouldn't focus below 5cm

Verdict: I've kept the review of the P80 open while I did this so I can compare not only what it did in the test but also what I said about it to see if I was repeating myself. I think the three major changes of zoom, resolution and articulated screen are good ...
