Engineered to exhilarate photographers, having a passion to make great pictures, the N80 includes a wide selection of features, which complement other top Nikon models. The N80 incorporates a superb selection of Nikon's proven features including a razor-sharp autofocus system, a wide range of exposure modes, complete selection of light metering performance, and access to the world of Nikkor optics and Nikon accessories. It implores photographers everywhere to explore their full creative potential. The N80 is designed to be the camera of choice for those who want to advance their picture taking techniques.

At the heart of the Nikon N80 autofocus (AF) system is the Multi CAM 900 AF module. This module incorporates five AF sensors that together create a large Wide-Cross-Array covering the center, left, right, top, and bottom of the frame. This makes it easy to compose and get razor-sharp shots, even with fast-moving subjects. The center sensor is a cross-type sensor incorporating two types of CCD line sensors, one for ordinary focus detection and another for low-light situations. Nikon features the N80's On-Demand composition assist grid lines than can be accessed as one of 18 user-programmable custom functions. The N80 also boasts a depth of field preview control. For sports or nature photography, where action is often swift and unpredictable, the N80's Focus Tracking with Lock-On enables continuous focusing on a moving subject while shooting up to 2.5 frames per second. Using Nikon's advanced software technology, the N80 drives the lens while monitoring the direction as well as the amount of lens drive, resulting in extremely precise focusing. Nikon's ten-segment 3D Matrix Metering ensures intelligent image analysis. In addition to reading individual brightness values among its ten sensors, the system analyzes the readings throughout the scene to identify scene contrast and light pattern recognition.
