New to a DSLR and thoroughly impressed. I bought the D80 a week ago and have been experimenting with all the features the camera has to offer. I went to my local store and tried Rebel XTi, A100, and D80 and hands down the D80 was the best. From the menu layout to the feel of the camera in my hands it just seemed like a solid piece of equipment. It was a little more expensive then the competition but If I am going to spend a lot of money on a camera lenses etc.. It should be what I wanted and the D80 by far hands down took the best pic...

Great camera if you don't mind tinkering with the EV setting a lot Don't get me wrong, this IS a spectacular camera. If you've read the reviews on this camera, you will notice that the most common quirks of the D80 is the matrix metering, the overexposure of highlights, and the tendency to underexpose shots when using the built-in flash and/or a speedlight. Other than that, the image quality is superb and is definitely a step up from the D50 and D70s. The LCD is nice and big while the status LCD has a green backlight for night viewing that the D50 lacked. The a...

Since Pentax K10D is out First, note that most of the reviews for Nikon D80 here are before Pentax
K10D was out. Since both are similarly priced, I think that it should be
reviewed relatively. And in my experience with both cameras, I think that
Pentax K10D is (almost) everyway better than Nikon D80.
Nikon D80 is a very good camera. If I didn't get Pentax K10D, I would have
given 5 stars. But if I have to give Pentax 5 stars, I can't give Nikon
D80 the same.
I ordered Nik...

High Quality Nikon There is not much of a practicle difference in the D70 and the D80. I had used the D70 for two years and nine thousand captures before jumping on the bandwagon with the D80. The view finder is larger in the D80, the viewing screen is much larger then in the D70, and some of the controls have their own buttons for more convenient adjustments.
But when push comes to shove the D70 pictures are in most recognizable respects just as good as the D80. The extra pixels don't get you better...

Amazing dSLR... I tried using the Canon XTI, then the D80, I was so amazed with the D80 I wouldn't ever recommend the XTI. I took two photos of my girlfriend, one with the XTI and one with the D80, the one taken with the Canon looked like a photo taken with a 5.0 MP Point-and-shoot lil' digital camera, the one I took with the D80 looked like a photo ready to use for a magazine cover, not even exagerating. Nikon D80 felt better in my hands and the extra LCD on top just works for me! Awesome camera, I would rec...
