So what Camera would you recommend for this sort of price range and features for someone who's looking to purchse a Camera with more creativity than a compact?
I agree. The SP-560UZ is 8.0 megapixels, the P80 is 10.1, they have different bodies, different processors, different controls and different lenses. And the Olympus uses 4x AA batteries while the Nikon has an Li-ion. And they look completely different. But other than that they are clearly identical.
Fred is right, coping designs is rife in the camera industry. Only yesterday I found out my Nikon D300 is actually a rebranded Olympus OM-1!!
They both have a mirror, shutter and viewfinder, but most tellingly of all, they are both painted black!! I have sent an angry letter to Nikon UK, and am waiting on their response.. ;)
Seriously, there is a little grain of truth in what ole Fred is saying, the Olympus SP-550/560UZ share exactly the same lens with the Fuji S8000/8100fd.
Good review. Comprehensive with well-explained reasons for every one of your conclusions. Although your scores for the Nikon P80 are much higher than your scores for the Fuji S8100 and Sony H50, a detailed reading of all three reviews reveals that the Nikon P80 is inferior to the other two, especially in terms of picture quality. Since you gave the Sony a 7 and the Fuji a 6, the Nikon P80 deserves a 5 at best.
