nikon updates p80 firmware
[11 June 2008] — Nikon has just issued a firmware update for the Coolpix P80 that addresses several issues users have noticed.
1. When shooting with the “Vibration Reduction” item in the setup menu set to “On”, vibration reduction did not always function in some situations.
2. When shooting with the “Distortion Control” option set to on, excessive correction was sometimes applied.
The release updates your P80 to firmware version 1.1, it’s relatively easy to install, and you can download it from the Nikon Coolpix P80 firmware download pages. Installation instructions for each OS are included on the download pages.
US Nikon Coolpix P80 firmware update version 1.1 – Windows

glad I found your blog! I’ve been deciding on what camera to move up to & the P80 is on my final list of two. Have used Nikon SLR’s for the last thirty years.

Hey Pap, thanks for your comment.
The p80’s a great little camera as long as you recognize and accept that it’s not a DSLR. And it’s unlikely to out-perform you Nikon film SLRs either.
But since you’ve come from the “silver oxide on acetate” school of photography (as I did) you’ll definitely appreciate not having to lug around three bodies and a thousand pounds of high-cost glass whenever you go shooting.
BTW, what’s the other camera on you list?
And do let us know what you eventually purchase… with links to some of your photos, too.
Peace, — Bob
