Customer Review: Decent camera — very bad in low light
One of the key reasons I purchased this camera is for the zoom range and the low light capabilities. It would be an OK camera except for the fact that it can’t focus in low light conditions. My two year old Canon can do what this brand new camera can’t — focus properly.

I was planning on taking it on a month-long vacation, but it’s staying at home. It’s a waste of money since it doesn’t do the job as well as my old camera. Maybe a warranty repair might fix it. I’ve been shooting Canon for the past 15 years and tried Nikon this once. My mistake.
Customer Review: P80 Noise
The P80 at $399 certainly had the right specifications in terms of megapixels, zoom, brand name etc… I ordered the camera just before going on vacation. I noticed that even at ISO 200 some of the indoor pictures exhibited noticable noise. On my vacation I knew I would need to take indoor pictures with less than ideal lighting. I immediately returned the camera. (Excellent return policy and procedure with Amazon!) I decided to buy the Nikon D40 with the kit lens. I would have purchased from Amazon, but I would not have had enough time for delivery. For about $50 more I bought a D40 at a local shop for $450(Great camera for the money!) . I suppose if you shoot primarily outdoors in good lighting the P80 would be fine. Perhaps my expectations were too high since it was a Nikon. I see the price of the P80 has come down a bit, but for a little extra the D40 is the better camera and the better deal.

We love digital cameras, we really do. The simplicity, the convenience, the quality of images and the ease of sharing photos makes a digital camera nothing short of essential in 2009. But if you want to get your hands dirty with some real photography
