IMHO and from what I know...
The Nikon Coolpix 800 is such a better buy than the Sony DSC-P1.

The reasons:
1. It is cheaper first of all.
2. Takes better pictures in general due to the better lens on the camera.
3. Can take better night shots since the Sony DSC-P1 is limited to ISO 100.

4. Has better manual control, since the Sony DSC-P1 is pretty much a point and shoot.
5. Takes compactflash.
A very nice deal on a camera.
I would have picked one up to give to my parents if it was still in stock.
