$750 refurbished? It's a STEAL!Strengths: Many settings, strong build, great ergonomics, big 2.5" screen, 10.2 MP, meter is extremely accurate, wireless flash commander mode, bright viewfinder. Weakness: Battery life could be a bit better. Plan on getting a vertical battery grip. I bought this camera refurbished from Adorama. I have to say, it doesn't look or feel refurbished. Looks brand new, feel brand new. Amazing how Nikon reconditions their cameras. Flawless. This is my 2nd Nikon DSLR. My first was a D50. The D50 suited me pretty well, but I had grown with it and beyond it. I had to sell the D50 anyway. The D80 has settings and functionality that the D50 lacked, like...

Arguably the best (current) sub $1,000 10MP DSLR on...Strengths: Hi res sharp pictures, great color, lots of customizible menu items, fast AF, very low noise Weakness: RAW processing software extra, no built-in sensor dust remover, no built-in sensor image stabilization like competition This is my very first DSLR but I've owned a film SLR (canon)and "point and shoot" digital cameras (Canon A30, Canon G3, and Casio EX750) for many years. I wanted to wait to buy a DSLR until the MP count was in double digits and the price was right (under $1,000). So in Septemeber there were 3 10MP models that came out almost simultaneously! So I was faced with deciding among the Canon XTi, Sony...

The best sub $1000 DSLRStrengths: Solid built, superior handling, all control buttons nicely layout, ergonomics, top LCD information display panel, industry leading flash technology Weakness: Does not include Capture NX software This is my first DSLR after waiting for this technology to be more mature. By comparing the specs and features to D100 and D70s, this camera really blows them away completely. It is a strip down version of D200, but many nice features still remains on D80. I am so glad that it uses SD card which I believe this will be the trend of the future. The viewfinder is truly bright and clear comparing...

Nikon D80 Digital CameraStrengths: Excellent pictures, relatively light weight, plenty of options for customization, designed for both beginners and advanced users, good value. Weakness: Common weaknesses for D-SRL cameras: bulky to carry when lens, bags and other accessaries are added; no video function; big problem if battery runs out suddenly; 1.5x focal length conversion. I own a Nikon N80 camera so happy to find that the general layout of buttons is similar to that of N80, which makes it easier to familiarize myself with this camera. Moreover, I can use all my existing lens. I took a few pictures at home and find the quality of picture very good. I can use SD cards I already have, and delighted to find that my MMC card can be used too. I do think this camera...

Excellent DSLR Camera - Even for first time userStrengths: Easy of Use Great Pictures Weakness: None yet I have been using point and shoot cameras since I learned how to use a SLR on my Olympus OM-1 which has been almost 20 years. So, I am a little rusty, but wanting to learn again as well as be able to take great pictures immediately...The D80 fits the bill perfectly. In just 14 days, I have taken over 200 photos and boy what a difference over my previous cameras!!! Yes, I might have gotten by with...

film girl goes DIGITALStrengths: large screen, great with the SB800 flash, versatile settings, not too heavy Weakness: none found yet I'm a die-hard film girl. I still own, among my other cameras, a K1000 and my flash is older than I am (late 50's model Flash). Digital pics are just not photography - until now. These LOOK like a photograph . . . depth of field is beautiful. Makes even my mediocre printer look good.

D80 DSLRStrengths: Compatability with older Nikon equipment, responsiveness, image quality Weakness: Priced higher than competition This DSLR is fantastic - priced higher than the Sony & Canon equivalents but well worth it if you already have Nikkor lenses. Includes all the bells and whistles a true enthusiast would desire. Works perfectly with my current stash of Nikkor lenses: 28-105mm, 20mm, 70-300mm etc. Raw format creates impeccable results. An affordable Nikon DSLR with comparable resolution to classic Nikon film...

You'll love it...Strengths: 10 Megapixel; large 2.5" screen; V.clear LCD; ability to control 2 speedlites; larger view finder (closer to film one); ability to use with Nikon made battery pack (MB-D80); In-camera image adjustment Weakness: Flash sync speed only upto 1/200 sec (D70 has upto 1/500 sec); Plastic made (unlike the D200) Before I bought, I needed this camera for its 10 megapixel capability. I want to take picture from a stage that quite far away even with 70-200mm. I need to crop the picture so much, so with a lot pixel, I would get the crop I want. After I have got the camera, I found that this camera is my jewel!!! I like it very much. I has a large 2.5" screen that I can use to view my picture after I took and...

Nikon D80Strengths: Large LCD, crystal clear viewfinder, very easy to use, battery life. Weakness: No auto turn off function. Bought this dSLR (my first) after months of research. Wanted to make the step up from P&S for years but never had the money. As a guy with fairly large hands, I found this the most comfortable dSLR under $1000 and that was a big factor in my selection (didn't want something I hated holding!!). Have had the D80 now for 2 weeks and have taken at least 50 pictures a day...I even left it on over...

Nikon D80 digital SLR
Though it’s priced higher than Canon’s Digital Rebel XTi and Sony’s Alpha 100, the Nikon D80 delivers a lot of extra bang for the buck. In fact, users who are considering the Canon EOS 30D will want to take a close look at this camera. Top

Full Production Update for Nikon D80 Review!
Having now thoroughly tested a production sample of the Nikon D80, all our initial impressions have been confirmed, and we can give it our wholehearted endorsement. By any measure, the Nikon D80 is a superb photographic tool, offering value well beyond its relatively modest price point.

Camera Labs – Nikon D80 review
The Nikon D80 is without a doubt a very impressive camera. It feels great, handles well, performs superbly and has one of the best viewfinders around. At times when rivals struggled with various lighting conditions, the D80’s metering remained unfazed and quite simply delivered great-looking images every time. The D80 may be a classier camera than its rivals in traditional respects, but has... Top

DCRP Review: Nikon D80
The Nikon D80 is a fairly inexpensive digital SLR that packs spectacular performance and excellent (though somewhat soft) image quality into a well-built, solid camera. . For under $1000 you get quite a lot of camera, and it will certainly make people think twice about spending hundreds more on a D200. The D80 was a joy to use, and I'm certainly going to miss it when it goes back to Nikon. In... Top

Nikon D80 Digital Camera Review
The Nikon D80 is a 10.2-megapixel DSLR for just under $1,000. It's a successor to the 6.1-megapixel D70s, Nikon's wildly popular consumer model. It’s also competition for the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, the Sony alpha A100, the Olympus EVOLT E-500 and the Pentax K10D. In other words, it’s in a crowded field, populated mainly with cameras that have advanced features like dust reduction and... TopAdvertisement

Good All Around Camera
Strengths: camera feels good in hand, not too heavy, fast powerup, lots of menu features, vari-programs excellent for novice
Weakness: Metering, autofocus problems in low light, durability, LCD can't be relied upon for exposure, underpowered flash
While I am overall satisifed with my D80, there are a few systemic problems with this camera that new buyers need to be aware of. First, there are some cameras that may come with hot pixels in the image sensor. Every single photo will have a glitch in it if you get one of these. The metering tends to be overexpose a lot of things. The camera has so many options that it is easy to set them and...
