Digital camera reviews of Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body only)
Digital camera Review: Amazing camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really great product, even 2 years after its launch. Ok, a new one may be available in a few months, but way more expensive. And this one is almost perfect!
the only bad experience I have is the write speed: it is "only" 9Mb/s. So wif you shoot many pix in a row, the bufer will be full and the camera won't be able to write fast enough on the card, even with an extreme III. To shoot without any trouble, you need to but the quality in jpeg (the better compression) and not raw.
Except this, it is a very good camera!
Digital camera Review: Amazing enthusiast level camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I've shot the D80 for over 9,000 exposures and I have grown to appreciate this as a wonderful enthusiast level camera.
It's a 10+ mp camera with 2.5 inch screen. The controls are easy to reach and adjust.
Given what the camera was advertised as, I am more than satisfied. Please understand that this is a DX format camera with a conversion factor of 1.5. It is NOT a full frame FX camera. I have shot in all sorts of conditions with several lenses and have had no issues at all with the camera.
It has now been discontinued and replaced by the D90, but unless you want video try to get a D80. It's perfect for anyone who wants a DX format camera.
My only regret is not simply going to FX (Full Frame) right from the start, but that was a decision I made and is not a relection on the camera.
If I was in the market for a DX size camera I would certainly buy it again and I have no intention of buying another DX formatted sensor, so I will hang onto the D80 until I purchase an FX camera. Get one... you'll love it.
Digital camera Review: An EXCELLENT SLR Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera TIED with the Canon 30D both having a 74 Score with Consumer Reports July 2007 Issue, which stated on the front of the magazine. "Finding the Best Digital Camera" THEY EVEN SHOWED THE NIKON D80 camera on the Front of the Magazine!!! I find this Camera and especially the Nikon Lenses quality to both be extremely EXCELLENT. You can't go wrong with buying this Nikon D80 DSL Camera, This Camera even OUTPERFORMED (according to consumer reports) the HIGHER PRICED Nikon D200! This is one FANTASTIC CAMERA! As for Lenses, I know that Nikon offers a package with THIS D80 Camera along with an 18-135mm Lens. (An EXCELLENT LENS) The only other lens in this same categeory of Lenses would be the Nikon 18-200 which is priced at OVER $800, if you can afford to just buy the D80 body and can afford the $800 for the 18-200mm Lens I would highly recommend it, otherwise the 18-135 Nikon Lens IS an EXCELLENT substitute, Nikon also has a NEW Lens out the 55-200mm Zoom Lens It retails for ONLY $218 on Amazon and is a worthy investment. I am just getting into photography but am a quick study and one thing I will tell anyone is this: Do NOT substitute a lesser quality lens which may list the SAME Nikon Lens Spec's such as: SIGMA, Tammaron, and a few others who make the same type of lens Nikon makes but NOT WITH THE quality and dedication to EXCELLENCE that Nikon Lenses offer. You may save money in the short term by going with one of these COPY LENSES as I call them, but you will regret your choice when you see the lower picture quality, especially if you are able to compare the picture with one taken using a true NIKON Lens.

Digital camera Review: An Exceptional Camera and a Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
The D80 packs 90% of the punch of a much more expensive, professional-grade SLR-type digital camera, at a fraction of the cost. I've had mine for two weeks now. The camera works like a charm. I love it.Digital camera Review: Awesome Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This was purchased for use as an evidence camera for the police department. All I can say is AWESOME! I also purchased the Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens and this is the best camera system I have ever seen. The focal range of the lens coupled with the abilities of the camera are amazing. The colors are superb, prints are super, even when printed on a plotter. The only drawback I could find with this camera is the exposure sometimes is a little too light. But, adjusting the exposure compensation to -.3 seems to work great in most situations. Great deal on an even greater camera!
