Then perhaps you have a defect. :P

From what I hear it's a reliable lens, minus that "soft side" issue. It's been popular since it was released in early 2006. Besides, the vendor offers refunds/replacements for factory defects.

But I think I'll do some more research before I order. I also looked at Zuiko's 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5. It's more expensive but it's a lot faster. Plus I can find it locally, unlike the Sigma.

Yes my lens is defect. Tomorrow i will go to Sigma to pick up my repaired lens. I hope they have fixed the problem.

I should have bought the Canon 10-22. It`s much lighter

Camera Gear

If you’ve been using a digital SLR for a while, you know how frustrating it can be to pick up a point and shoot camera and get good shots.For that matter, if you use a point and shoot, you might be just as frustrated. A point and shoot, for all its ease of size and automation, makes all kinds of decisions for you in what makes a good photo, and while often it is right, it is just a piece of hardware and can’t read your mind about exactly what you want.

It's fricken heavy. Okay, nowhere as much as a Mamiya RB67 or similar, but don't let the look of the 35mm SLR-style grip trick you - it's way too heavy to comfortably hold with one hand.

My Mighty Nikon P80.







*
10.1 Megapixels for stunning prints as large as 20 x 30 inches. Plenty of sharp resolution to capture the finest details, crop creatively and produce incredible enlargements.
*
Amazing 18x Optical Wide-Angle Zoom-NIKKOR Lens provides exceptional pictures. This lens is built on Nikon's proud heritage of producing precision camera optics that deliver superb color and razor-sharp results. This amazing lens offers unbeatable compositional freedom with its wide-angle (27mm) to super-telephoto coverage (486mm). You can photograph sweeping landscapes and zoom in to capture the action on the baseball or soccer field!
*
The World's Most Compact Super-telephoto Camera among competing models equipped with an 18x zoom as of March 4, 2008. This gives you the benefits of both a compact camera and a super-telephoto lens.
*
New EXPEED Image Processor ensures high-quality pictures with stunning color and sharpness. Nikon's comprehensive digital imaging processing concept incorporates the know-how and the technologies acquired throughout our long history of photographic and digital imaging development. EXPEED is customer-tuned for COOLPIX and renders natual-looking pictures of incredible quality and quick response so you won't miss that special moment.
*
Incredible, Bright 2.7-inch High-Resolution LCD and an Electronic Viewfinder make it easy to compose and share your pictures with friends and family. The incorporation of the high-resolution electronic viewfinder enables you to see through the lens in any type of lighting condition.
*
Optical Vibration Reduction Image Stabilization compensates for camera shake to prevent blur and produce clearer, sharper results in lower light or unsteady conditions. In addition, the benefits of Nikon's VR system extends to faster framing on the monitor as well as smoother action when using the movie mode.
*
Program, Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority and Manual Exposure Modes give you ultimate control over your pictures. The D-SLR-type mode dial on the top of the camera provides quick access to this greater personal and creative control. Now, you can adjust the camera's settings for any type of lighting conditions and get as creative as you want.
*
Auto Adjusts up to ISO 6400 and lets you keep shooting, even in lower light. With a light sensitivity range of up to ISO 6400 in manual control, this creates new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking photos in lower light conditions. ISO 3200 and ISO 6400 settings are available at 3MP or lower resolution.
*
New Sports Continuous Scene Mode for shooting up to 13fps, up to 30 frames, when you set the resolution to 3MP or lower. These high-speed capture settings help you stay ahead of the action, whether it's a swift golf or baseball swing, or the speed of the soccer field. At 13fps, you'll capture all the action.
*
Nikon Image Innovations include: In-Camera Red-Eye Fix™, that automatically looks for and fixes most instances of red-eye; Face Priority AF, Nikon's face-finding technology that can quickly find and focus on up to 12 faces in a group portrait; and D-Lighting which rescues pictures that are too dark for printing by enhancing the underexposed areas of the picture while not touching the properly exposed areas.
*
High Quality TV Movies with Sound are now just a press of a button away with your COOLPIX P80. Record TV-quality movies with sound whose duration is only limited by the space available on your SD/SDHC card. Connect your camera to your TV, and you have instant home movies.
