Pentax Optio P80
|
|
|
Compact
August, 2009 |
As well as being compared against other compacts, the Pentax Optio P80 is also often compared to ultra compacts, super zooms, entry-level DSLRs and travel zooms. The Pentax Optio P80's top rivals come from Panasonic (such as the Lumix DMC-FH1 and the Lumix DMC-FX10) and Nikon (such as the Coolpix S3100 and the Coolpix L120)
Generally, some of the advantages of the Pentax P80 compared to other compact competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/2.6 vs f/3.3), has a much wider wide angle lens (27 mm vs 33 mm), takes significantly higher resolution photos (9.8 MP vs 5.9 MP), significantly higher maximum light sensitivity (6,400 ISO vs 1,600 ISO) and is slightly lighter (125 g vs 155 g).
However, on average it doesn't have image stabilization (none vs digital), doesn't shoot as fast continuously (3.2 fps vs 11 fps), doesn't have a screen which flips out, slightly worse macro focusing (10 cm vs 5 cm) and lacks boost light sensitivity (none vs 3,200 ISO).
