If you are looking to buy a compact digital camera, then lack of choice won't be one of your concerns. Nikon announced three new cameras today to add to that bewildering array of options, those being the P80, S52 and S52c. Probably the most interesting of the bunch is the P80, with its 18x optical zoom lense covering a focal range from 27mm to 486mm. This is paired with a 10.1 megapixel sensor and a 2.7" LCD for framing your photos. Whether you need such resolution from a compact camera is debatable, but I guess it'll help you fill any of the large, cheap memory cards that are abundant these days. The S52 and S52c are essentially the same camera, with the 'c' model sporting Wi-Fi connectivity. They are of the type you should be able easily slip into a pocket (something you won't be doing with the P80), and feature 9 megapixel sensors and 3x optical zoom plus 3" LCD displays. You should be able to pick up a P80 from this month for around $399.95, while the the S52 and S52c are set to debut next month at prices of $249.95 and $299.95 respectively.
