Exactly the same focal lengths and apertures, and similar looks. That's probably why it has a ccd-shift IS too, Nikon didn't have to modify/design the lens at all.. The market is flooded with cameras like the P80 (here you can catch Nikon P80 specification so I am disappointed with Nikon. I was hoping for a similar camera but that allows the usage of a Nikon speedlite, has RAW capability, has decent high ISO noise reduction and responds fast.

It's particularly difficult to find a small P&S that allows you to shoot raw, which is a shame. Same for speedlight mounts--which actually used to be more common on the Coolpix line than they seem to be now (I guess everything is getting smaller & sleeker).--David _________________________ --David Cardinal, Cardinal Photo nikondigital.org--Photo Info for Serious Shooters

What got my attention is the sync'd SB-800s off the hot shoe! http://strobist.blogspot.com/2008/04/on-assignment-par-for-course.html _________________________ Bob Omson
