 Amazing camera May 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a really great product, even 2 years after its launch. Ok, a new one may be available in a few months, but way more expensive. And this one is almost perfect!
the only bad experience I have is the write speed: it is "only" 9Mb/s. So wif you shoot many pix in a row, the bufer will be full and the camera won't be able to write fast enough on the card, even with an extreme III. To shoot without any trouble, you need to but the quality in jpeg (the better compression) and not raw.
Except this, it is a very good camera!
Great Value used these days, not so great new May 3, 2008

There are scores of reviews about the D80 on here, so I'll try to just add relevant information for someone buying this body *now*
If you're buying this body today, I'd suggest buying it for no more than ~650 or so if you can, or even better, buy it used from a reputable source for under 600. The new D90's are coming out soon, and though I love my D80 dearly, it just doesn't make sense to be paying 700+ for this big guy anymore. If you *need* to buy a dslr camera *now* you're probably better off just renting one from a pro camera store.
The controls are intimidating at first but it becomes intuitive and the telephone tech support is SUPERB ! May 2, 2008

First let us say we aren't professional photographers and this is more than just an amateurs camera.
Rest assured, it comes with a "soccer mom" switch and I use this term with reverence because you can just switch the upper dial to "Auto" and the camera essentially goes on autopilot and does everything possible to deliver a balanced and focused shot.
If you have problems, you can just call tech support at their toll free number and our call at 1:00 AM Eastern Time was answered in less than 4 rings and we got a hold of an extremely competent individual who was more than patient and placed us on hold only so he go pull an actual D80 and the same lens from a supply closet and walk us through it while holding it himself.
In working with him, you could tell he was an owner and a loyalist and tech support like this you typically have to pay for as a separate line item. Whether or not we already paid for it as just part of the retail camera price or if Nikon just differentiates themselves this way..... the support is one of the reasons Nikon stands apart.
Bill Gates doesn't even get this great tech support when he calls Microsoft himself and gives them his name.
BIGGEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCKS ! April 29, 2008

FANTASTIC !
It does everything the specs call for, without compromise.
Rugged. Reliable. Flexible. Extrermely high performance.
Everything in my Nikon digital system works with it.
The price was attractive. I bought one body to try out.
The next day I ordered a D80 body for each of my staff photographers.
 Excellent camera but needs update April 28, 2008
I recently used a D80 all day and got really good shots (Lens was the 105 mm). Great camera. Very nice. The only thing is that the D80 is now two years old and doesn't have some of the latest features, such as self cleaning.
I'm a Nikon fan but Nikon needs to come out soon - now - with the upgrade for the D80.
Canon is eating their lunch in that market area with the new Rebel XSi and the EOS 40D. Other manufacturers are also jumping in.
Personally, I think I will wait for the D90 (if that's what they call the upgrade to the D80) and I hope it's available soon.
