Well after comparing the P80 to my friends Panasonic FZ18 I found the FZ18 took better pics so ended up returning the Nikon P80 and picking up the FZ18. The P80 seemed to excel if you were just shooting macro shots but what percentage of your shots are bees on flowers. The FZ18 took just about every other shot all the way up to the long end of the zoom much better.
Needless to say the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ18 gets my recommendation for the best point and shoot with a mega zoom.
