Nikon Coolpix P80

So for Christmas I am planning on buying a Nikon Coolpix P80 and I was wondering, how do you save pictures on these cameras? Do you use a memory card like an ordinary digital camera does?

Yes, the Nikon COOLPIX P80 can use SD (Secure Digital) memory cards and is SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) capable. The P80 also has 50MB of internal memory, but it alone will not be adequate for normal shooting; it's only enough capacity to store approximately 12 high quality JPEGs.

The Nikon P80 is one of the smallest cameras in the 18x optical zoom range. Find out more at www.digitalrev.com

I want to transfer videos and recordings from my coolpix p80 camera to the computer. I read through the user manual and didn't find anything on it, it only told me how to transfer pictures. Is it possible to transfer videos?

if it is a still camera the videos transfer the way pctures do. if it is a digital video camera you have to use a firewire connection for video and usb for stills

I love this camera, but all the functions are a tad confusing, does anyone know of any product out there that can help me understand it better? Most of the Nikon guides out there are for SLR cameras. I know this camera is fairly new, so maybe a guide is coming soon.

Wow, nice gift

Shutter speeds, f/stops, ISO and lens selection is the same, whether a SLR or SLR-like camera.

Start shooting using your camera's program mode until you get the feel for the other controls (auto-focus, holding the camera in the "three point" method ... left hand on the lens, eye and face up next to the cameras viewfinder and your right hand on the cameras body and finger on the shutter release).

As you get those technical items under control you can start shooting using the aperture priority to control the cameras depth of field and later the shutter priority mode to take action shots without blur

You can find good traditional photo books in the library. The only difference will be that you will be using a 10MP sensor instead of film

What is a good camera to do astrophotography with other than the Canon EOS 350D, Canon EOS 20 and Nikon D50?

Wikipedia discusses this and notes that Canon has a specific camera for the job
