Not Too Old to Learn (Update) I resisted "going digital" until now, but my wife got me a D80 for Christmas. I've worked in photography but for many years it has been a hobby (which I prefer), and I've owned Nikon F2, F3HP, Bronica 6x6, and various 4x5 view cameras. One thing I've always struggled with in using the highly convenient 35mm SLR format is enlargement capability with such small format images. Once you've used 4x5 it's hard to settle for the graininess and low resolution of most 35mm films (Kodachrome excepted)....

100% (62 of 62) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | A Few Nits to Pick With 93 D80 reviews already posted, the world needs another one like it needs higher oil prices. In any event, we all have our opinions so I'll impose mine upon you now.
After 30+ years of shooting with Nikon film cameras, I decided to stick with the brand when switching to digital. It was a tossup between the D80 and D200, as either of them would fit my needs.
Since my eyesight now requires auto focus, the fact that my manual focus Nikkors will not meter with the D80 but ...

100% (40 of 40) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Which Nikon 10.2MP Camera to Buy? Nikon has muddied the waters about, and now offers no less than three digital SLR cameras that use the same basic imager -- the D200, D80, and D40x. Which should you buy?
This D80 is smack in the middle, and packaged with a useful lens that's also middle-of-the road in its applications. Appropriately, the D80 may be the best choice for those who have graduated from the point-and-shoot/snapshooting phase, but aren't ready for a more semi-pro camera.
D40x -- Uses the same 10...

100% (34 of 34) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | A camera for the transition to pro levels OK. One year passed since I've bought this camera so I can get into a review of my personal experience with it.
First of all, if you consider into buying this model, you should know that this is not a dSLR that you can use on auto settings and get fabulous results. Get a point and shoot for that or a D40/ D40x. D80 seems to be tuned to provide best results with manual modes or semi-auto modes (fixed-aperture or fixed-shutter). I spent almost 1,000 shots until I got used with the behaviour o...

100% (33 of 33) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Comparing the Nikon D40, D80 and D200 As long as you know what you're buying, it's hard to go wrong with Nikon's digital SLRs. They all take beautiful photographs. Even the basic D40 will give you professional-level clarity, color and focus.
There are four Nikon digital SLRs in the consumer market. Here's how they compare:
The entry-level camera is the Nikon D40. It's a basic SLR camera that takes high-quality 6.1 megapixel (MP) photos. It has an automatic flash, eight programmed exposure modes, three focus are...

100% (19 of 19) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Great camera. Decent Kit Lens. This was an upgrade for me from an 8.0MP Digital Rebel XT--which was my first DSLR camera--so I will compare my experiences with the two.
Digital Rebel XT 8.0MP:
Pros: price, weight, ease of use.
Cons: very noisy focusing and shooting. feels cheaply put together and mass produced (the latter is certainly true); feels and looks like an entry level DSLR camera (which, granted, is what it is). tends to overexpose pictures outdoors, and underexpose pictures indoors. ease ...

It is my first digital SLR, though I have had film SLRs and three digital "point and shoots."
I bought the Nikon after weeks of research and indecision during which I read countless reviews and forum messages comparing the Nikon and Canon systems, and I also handled the actual cameras in stores. I finally decided on the Nikon because, amon...

100% (15 of 15) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | So far, so good but filters will reflect light off the lenses So far, so good, but if you use a UV filter you will find that shots taken in low light or those involving prolonged shutter exposure will cause light to reflect off of the lenses. If it was possible for me to attach an example to this review I would attach about 100 pics I shot within the past 2 weeks. Other than that this camera is easy and fun to learn. Metering off of objects is a breeze and many photo editing options are built in to the camera. The only drawback to camera operation is that ...

100% (12 of 12) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Best Digital SLR in its Class I bought this camera for my family's special Disney World vacation and took about 1,300 pictures with it over an eight days period and was utterly stunned by the results. It was really easy to use, performance was lightning quick and the zoom lens on digital SLR feels so natural. I can take pictures pretty much as fast as I can press the shutter which is really great. I shot mostly in Auto or Potrait mode and the picture quality especially of potraits were breath-taking. People's skin and co...

I do quite a bit of event work and picked up a D200 last year (owned by another photographer) and was convinced that it was too heavy to carry. Another friend owned a D80 and had nothing but good to say about it compared to his D70 so I decided to give it a try. The D80 seems to be the best option for those considering weight and contemplating an upgrade or first time investment in a digital SLR from Nikon. I love the larger lcd display and am gett...
