Nikon D80 ... developed for the D80 is its high-resolution image-processing engine. At its heart is a dedicated high-performance processing chip that greatly accelerates performance on all levels, while also consuming less power than its predecessors. It also inherits advantages developed exclusively for Nikon's latest professional digital SLR cameras, combining color independent analog pre-conditioning with improved 12-bit digital image processing algorithms. The result is natural-looking images that benefit from faithful color and tone reproduction. The level of performance attained allows the engine to rapidly and efficiently process the 10.2-megapixel resolution images captured by the DX Format CCD image sensor.

 ... general expectations. It is very stylish and although it is designed to use Nikon accessories, other makes of Lens and Filters fit extremely well. I had have a lot of attention when using this DSLR and family members in particular were so impressed that they decided to get the same one. I was extremely flattered by this and soon realised that this could work to my advantage as they could buy the accessories that I really wanted and we could interchange then! I love this camera and would never go back to a compact camera....more

Premium Review Nikon D80: Great, "proper" camera (432 words)

Have had an eye on a digital SLR for some years, but never got around to taking the plunge until this chap came along. I'd been using two Sony cameras, which were very good for general family shots. However, as my sons got older and started playing rugby and football, they just couldn't keep up. DSLRs don't suffer from a delay from pressing the shutter to taking the picture, and so the moment isn't lost. Also, it has a three frames a second speed, which is brilliant for sports shots. I use with a 4Gb card, which will take over a 1000 shots, even at max resolution. Don't think I've ever used more than 500, but it's nice to know there's still plenty of room!! It ...  Read the complete review

Wow what a fantastic camera, after having various digital cameras, that all seemed to do something great, but this has the whole package. User friendly, with great features for the expert to the enthusiast. Although a larger camera, I have been able to take it to various events for close up work to long distance shots for stage events. it offers compatable software for most PC's to be able to download with ease on to your computer. Although the price for the inital purchase is pretty high, i feel this camera will be able to grow with your experience that you gain from using its various features. The picture quality seems to be extremely high, and although it does ...  Read the complete review

I have had this camera several months. I am a young enthusiast photographer who upgraded from a digital compact. The camera has worked very well in all kinds of photography situations, from gigs, sports events and parties to fine art, close up work and portraiture. The picture quality is excellent and don't be fooled by a need for a greater pixel count. Some rival camera's have more, some cheaper have more too but pixel count is no rival for picture quality and this provides it in leaps and bounds. Ease of use is superb, amateurs will be overjoyed with the simplicity of this camera and the standard of the results provided. In camera editing is as ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review I might be tempted to give up my old film camera (460 words)

I have updated this review, now there are a couple of new cameras in the Nikon line-up. The D90 is the replacement for the D80, but the D80 is still available and at a reduced price, it is still a great camera and better value than ever. The D700 has also bee added between the D300 and the D3. I have been using Nikons for many years and the D80 camera is quite light and compact compared to some earlier Nikon film cameras although not as small as the less expensive D40, D50 and D60 models. It fits nicely in the hand despite being small (I actually prefer cameras to be bigger than this, but I am probably quite old fashioned and in a minority) and all of the ...  Read the complete review

Having owned two Nikon SLR's in the past, an F301 and an F90x, the F90 I had to sell to help pay 'Mr Tax Man', I was ready for a DSLR. I'd been using a digital compact for a couple of years but when I saw the D80 on the cover of a magazine, I knew I had to have it!! The D80 has that classic 'Nikon look and feel' to it. Nice and chunky and a good balance in your hands but not too heavy. You feel that if you were to drop it it'd be fine. On first using the D80, I set it to its 'Auto' setting, just to get used to it. The auto setting does everything for you...anyone buying a camera like this won't be using auto though....you only use auto if your drunk ...  Read the complete review
