5 out of 5 stars Amazing enthusiast level camera   January 10, 2009
S. Deligan (Poulsbo, WA United States)
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.



5 out of 5 stars Lovin' it   January 8, 2009
Jack Cheng (West Roxbury, MA United States)
Great camera and lens. Took it on a trip to Chile -- lots of shots of mountains, architecture and little kids. The photos look great, the camera was easy to use without any previous instruction, and a 2MB card and one battery lasted me almost the entire 2.5 week trip (got about 800 photos on one card and then switched it out; battery is still good to go).


5 out of 5 stars NIKON D80 - BEST PURCHASE I'VE MADE!!   January 8, 2009
L. A. Hodge
I am really am enjoying my new camera! It is the best equipment i have taken photos with. It is easy to use- just enough camera to use as an amateur, but alot more for taking it to the next level! I am very pleased with my purchase. Amazon was fast, efficient, and bought with much confidence!
thanks.



4 out of 5 stars This is a great camera   January 7, 2009
schlooble (USA)
I love my D80. This is a great camera and right now is a great time to buy one since the D90s are out. My only problem with the camera is that I wish it had better high ISO capabilities. Other than that I really like this camera and the wireless triggering of speed lights is a major plus for me. Sorry this isn't a very good review, but that's what [...] is for.


4 out of 5 stars Great Camera, easy enough for novices   January 7, 2009
M. Meyer (Chicago, IL USA)
Product came as advertised and in just a couple days. You can use it immediately out of the box without reading the guide, if needed (however, would suggest reviewing the operating guide) especially if you know something about photography. Picture quality is excellent. We replaced an Olympus 400 point and shoot. Reason for replacing, picture quality and speed of shooting, with the Olympus would have to wait a bit between shooting pictures, sometime missing the photo you wanted to take, not the case with this camera. Lots of options with the D80, more than we would probably ever use or need. However, we love the camera. Suggestion with one 4G smart media card on normal setting can shoot over 1000 pictures on one card, ond the fine setting you get about 500 on one card.

Now trying to find a good photo software package that is easy to use and not a huge computer hog. Currently have Photoshop Elements 6.0, but seems to be a computer hog and a large learning curve. Trying to find something different. Any suggestions?

Have only had the camera for a couple months so still learning all the options. Would put us in the category of novice or just above the novice in photography.
