Hey guys! anybody try that Nikon P80? its an advanced Point and Shoot camera with similar features of a DSLR somewhate.

Beacuse of my money problem i have been looking at the Nikon P80 to achieve some of my goals. a Nikon D40 may be cheap but i cant afford it as well as obtain other things to help it out.

THe P80 as you know there is no removable lenses so therefore i dont have to worry about cleaning it and keeping it nice and clean

just wondering those who have tried the P80, whats your guys opnions on it and is it worth it or should i really just wait a super long time to save money for a nikon d40

thanks!

I just looked up the price of a P80. It was about $380. You can buy a good used DSLR for $350. or a new one for $450.

The big different between the two the size of the sensor and speed of handling.
