Coolpix P80-Thread 2: Sensor?

Recommended Posts

I read the previous thread about the P80, and I'm getting REAL curious. This

camera looks like a good alternative when traveling light: I wouldn't have to

lug the DSL around with three lenses, including the "Bigma." (The P80 zoom is

equivalent to 27-486 mm.) I can't find sensor information. Is this the small

sensor one would expect of a point and shoot? NAS relapse seems imminent...

From <a href="http://nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-Camera/26114/COOLPIX%20P80.html">Nikon's website:</a>

Sensor Type: CCD,

Sensor Size: 1/2.3"

 

And I had found on <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glossary/Camera_System/sensor_sizes_01.htm">www.dpreview.com</a>

that 1/2.3" is giving 7.7mm x 6.16mm dimensions.

 

Well- it's definitely sensor that is characteristic for point and shoot cameras.
