Canon A80 vs. Nikon CoolPix 4300

Some user points on the differences between both cameras [link]:

- A80 has swivel LCD which Allows for creative shooting angles, as well as the ability to tilt to avoid glare, and finally adds protection when not in use by folding against the camera body.

- A80 has self-contained lens protection. When the A80 lens retracts, there is an integrated cap which autmatically protects the lens. With the 4300, you have to manually put the cap on. the new 4200 and 5200 Coolpix Nikon models may have addressed this design flaw.

- A80 uses AA batterries. They last longer, are cheaper, and easier to find anywhere in the world. Additionally because the demand is so great, technology is always improving on AA rechargeables.

The 4300 includes its own charging system vs the A80 where AA rechargeables must be bought seperately.

The 4300 also has a better macro mode (something for which all Nikon P&S digicams are famous for).
