    Excellent camera

    Pros: Superb and sharp image quality, wide selection of excellent lens

    Cons: Price

    This is the first DSLR i own and i loooved it. images are very sharp. response speed was good. loved the colours it produces. big and sharp LCD screen helps a lot. didn't regret it a moment. a great bargain for the money paid. basically got... most of the high end features of a D200 at half (?) the price. D50 didn't cut it for me because I wanted a camera that will last me at least 4-5 years, with enough features for me to explore and grow with. nikon lenses are just superb (but expensive). go get it!!!

    Outstanding Camera

    By Ashwaubenon Dogs  Dec 2, 2006 | 22 out of 24 found this Nikon D80 (Body Only) review helpful

    Pros: Fast, accurate 11-point autofocus; excellent LCD display; high-speed USB connection; extra-long battery life; most of all though, superb image quality

    Cons: I would have loved a manual cable release feature, but that is probably asking too much

    I have been using SLRs for twenty-five years, and this is my second Digital SLR. The D80 has greatly exceeded my expectations. This camera is easy enough to operate for my wife to pick up and use immediately, even though her experience is barely beyo...nd point-and-shoot (her newest camera is a Coolpix S4). At the same time, it has almost all of the features that I could hope for, and some that I would have never thought up. I can't figure out the reviewer who suggested that image quality from the D80 is poor. I can only imagine that it is due to the lens that he is using. I could not be happier with the image quality, but I have only used Nikkor ED lenses with my D80. I have been very impressed with the auto-focusing, metering system and flash sync at 1/200 sec. The viewfinder is as bright as you will find, and I have barely scratched the surface of the in-camera editing capabilities. I was thinking about buying a D200, but I could not justify the price difference. The D80 just seemed to be a better value. If you are trying to decide whether to buy a Rebel XTi or a D80, I suggest that you go to any store that carries both in stock. If you look them both over, I'm fairly certain that you will strongly lean towards the D80. The only reason that I could see opting for the XTi is if you already have compatible Canon lenses. I have Canon and Nikon lenses, but the D80 was an easy choice. Read more Less

    Nikon D80

    I was very impressed with the D80. It can be a powerful photographic tool with its Manual, Aperture priority, and Shutter priority modes, however, even the least experienced photographer can pick it up and capture beautiful photos using the Auto, Program or one of the Digital Vari-Program scene modes. With an MSRP of US$1299.95 for the body and 18-135mm lens outfit, it's a bit more expensive than its competitors, however we feel it offers an outstanding value for such a capable model. Read more
