    The Good: Optically stabilized, wide-angle, long zoom lens; comfortable shooting design; voice annotation; time-lapse mode.

    The Bad: Poor noise handling above ISO 200; no raw support; relatively slow performance.

    The Bottom Line: One of the better 18x megazooms, nevertheless you should consider the Nikon Coolpix P80's sluggish performance before you commit to it.

    Review Summary: The latest 18x bridge is unfortunately not the best. While the P80 produces image quality that is more or less equivalant to its rivals, it is handicapped by its lack of reactivity.
