5 out of 5 stars Great Camera: Fair Price   May 14, 2008
I've had the camera for almost a year. I have no complaints. Search for the Nikkor f1.8 lens and pick that up with it ... you won't be disappointed.


1 out of 5 stars The camera has a few problems...   May 11, 2008
 2 out of 5 found this review helpful

The D80 has two problems. The first is a "firmware" defect that causes most pictures to be under exposed, most pictures look too bright. The second problem involves the sharpness of the pictures. I bought almost every lens that Nikon makes, and could never get that sharpness that I was looking for, until I bought the Nikon D300. Wow, the Nikon D300 is INCREDIBLE! The problems I had with sharpness, were do to the SENSOR I believe, and it makes sense! Yes, the D80 takes "good" pictures, but the D300 takes INCREDIBLE pictures. The D80 has a CCD sensor, and the D300 has a CMOS sensor, is this the difference? I don't know, but my D300 takes razor sharp images! Wow. I sold my D80, and I've never been happier!


5 out of 5 stars features features...   May 8, 2008
This is my first digital slr camera, which I've had for about a month now and it's great. Considering how many features it has its relatively easy to use, I just picked it out of the box and started getting amazing quality pictures with my nikkor vr 18-200mm lens. I'm sure it'll be only better when i figure out the more obscure details.


5 out of 5 stars Super camera at a resonable price!   May 6, 2008

I recently upgraded from a Nikon D70 to the D80, and I am in love with my camera again! I had stopped using the D70 because it seemed no matter what I did my images were always grainy looking. With the D80 all of my images have been extremely sharp, even with an older 300mm lens. I also love being able to hold down the shutter button and let the camera take picture after picture, I have been able to get some amazing shots as a result. I think the built in flash is more powerful than on the D70 as well, some pictures I took inside turned out good and did not look like an obvious flash picture (shadows, dark background, etc.). I highly recommend this camera.


5 out of 5 stars Razor sharp   May 5, 2008
I upgraded from the D40 as my introduction to DSLRs to the Nikon D80. There were a few more knobs and gadgets on the camera but well put together. I went to Seaworld and snapped off some shots with my 18-55mm and my 105mm Fisheye glass. I couldn't believe the difference this was from my D40. I am so impressed with the quality, I am enrolling in UC San Diego Extension class to learn the things I can't seem to get from all the books and manuals I've read. This has become my new passion and I feel, without spending a mortgage payment, this camera can get me to the next level and maybe start getting paid for what I now love to do.

Research the product and figure out what you want to do with it. Whether it be strictly a hobby or move into the professional realm. This camera is a great starting point.
