Description — Nikon Coolpix P80
The Nikon COOLPIX P80 is a 10MP point-and-shoot camera with a 1/2.3-inch sensor processed by Nikon's EXPEED engine. Its ISO sensitivity spans from 64 to 6400, accommodating a range of shooting environments. Image stabilization is handled by a sensor-shift (IBIS) system alongside digital IS, providing dual-layer stability for handheld use.
The autofocus system combines contrast detection with face detection AF, offering 9 auto focus points or 99 manual focus points for precise control. Composition can be done via the 2.7-inch, 230,000-dot TFT LCD or the electronic viewfinder — also at 230,000 dots. Color output can be tailored using Standard, Vivid, or Monochrome profiles.
Burst shooting reaches up to 13fps, while video maxes out at 480p at 30fps. The body measures 110 x 79 x 78 mm, weighs 395g, and is built from plastic with no weather sealing. A built-in pop-up flash is included, and storage is via SD and SDHC cards.
