There is a new Nikon coming into town. the Nikon CoolPix P80, a compact Super zoom, according to Intech 29 April 08 (The Star). Nikon being one of the Top range branded cameras (consumer), is what i was originally eyeing for, but budget put paid to that, But I can dream. and you the reader can also help me out by viewing the advertisements ;-) here.

I have not have the chance to go find a review on this Nikon CoolPix P80 yet, the newspaper burb on this is too brief other then that it has a 18X optical zoom, to me higher the optical zoom the better. as can be seen in the photo below of two jet ski riding towards each other. Timing was right, only not enough optical zoom. (i dare not use digital zoom at it would compromise the photo in to blur images.)

The Nikon P80 has a 4.7mm t0 84.2 mm 1:2.8, 4.5 lens vs the Fuji S5700 which i use which has 6.3mm to 63mm 1:3.5, 3.7, which mean the Nikon have a wider angle, longer range, and better like capability then the Fuji i use. Well the Nikon have to wait till i can save up, Other priorities you know, and i like the fuji, so that will be some time.

I prefer a superzoom compact over DSLR camera, due to two factors, 1) the price and 2) less things (lens etc) to carry around. This Nikon camera is price at US$400, which theoretically work out to a RM1320 at current exchange rates however, what the actual price when it enter the Malaysian Market, no one know yet.
