Nikon Coolpix P80 - Test shots - Exposure evaluation

Here are some general test shots to help evaluate the camera's overall image quality.
----

Exposures are generally very good indeed
----

Colours are punchy and saturated in the right light
----

Less vivid tones are rendered well
----

The white balance is sometimes fooled, this image is a bit too warm
----

In black and white mode, I used a digital red filter to darken the sky. It's less effective than real filters
----

With D-Lighting off, this image is quite contrasty
----

After applying D-Lighting, the shadows are lifted but noise has appeared (also notice the purple fringing along the roof)
