 the best compromise January 24, 2007
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
This camera is, in my opinion, the best Nikon compromise just now between high performance and price. It is not a professional camera, but has on-board electronics that are virtually of professional level. The quality of the pictures is superb, and the camera is extremely versatile: one can just aim and shoot, without any worry for complicated settings, but one can also fully personalize the camera to his or her own wishes if one likes.
The lens is also very good, and covers most of the everyday needs of an amateur photographer.
I am very satisfied indeed with it!
Nikon D-80 with the 18-135 lens January 18, 2007
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have had this camera a few weeks and it is very good. The 18-135 lens has one or two nits but overall I am very satisfied. I have been in Spain the last week and have taken hundreds of photos. The clarity is good and the night noise reduction works excellent. The camera feels better than my old D-70 and the quality in the photos is better. The only downside to the whole kit that I have angst with is using filters on the lens. The filters are very hard to attach and the screw adapter on the lens seems to be a bit small. I can attach the filters but it is not as easy as it should be. I would recommend this camer to any Nikon user upgrading or to someone new entering the DSLR game. Obviously if You are a Canon user or similar your mileage will vary.
Best camera for your money, ever January 15, 2007

To date, in my opinion this DSLR is by far the best Camera for the money. The image quality is outstanding. I upgrade to the D80 just last week, moving up from my D70s, and I can say that after 10 minuets of shooting, it was worth every penny, in face it should be worth more than its going for. It has the feel of my D70s but better, I always found the D70s to be a little bit too bulky. The D80 is a little smaller, and a lot easier on my hands (I have large hands too), I did however find it to be a little short from top to bottom.
I also purchased the MB-D80 Battery Grip, this fixed my fitment issue. Not only does this allow you to add another battery (Or 6AA which is great for a pinch with two dead Li-ions), vertical shutter release, Aperture, shutter setting scroll knob,and AE-l AF-L Lock button. It also makes the whole camera more steady and a little bit more heavy, which is a good thing, this means less lens blur especially for zoom lens (like the 18-135). Look at the $4,000 Nikon D2X and the D80 with MB-D80 Battery grip side by side, this gives you an idea of the professionalism, simply in the camera size and layout.
Getting back to the D80, This is basically a D200 mini, if you will. Other than the smaller body, and the slightly different auto exposure metering system, you are holding a D200 for $700 less. In short, if you are looking to upgrade from a D50, D70(s) Cannon Rebel Xt, or would like a worthy back up, or even your first DSLR. This is it, a professional grade camera, with easy to use features, and even better all around quality.Its great for anyone really.
Nikkor lens are amazing quality as well, I have always preferred them to Cannon's. If you are thinking about getting the 18-135mm with the D80, I would recommend it. Overall, the lens is sharp and clear, with a great range that does not sacrifice too much considering the range. I would however recommend getting the Nikkor 18-200mm VR over this lens if you can afford the extra money. I have used both(and own the 18-135) and they are both great lenses, but if you are Serious the 18-200 VR will be the only lens you would ever need in that range, the Vibration Reduction (VR) will remove blur for up to four stops higher than what you would normally be able to shoot at.This is great for low light, and considering how great the D80 performs in low light anyways with its built in Noise Reduction and wonderful ISO quality, even at 1600. Its a perfect combination for anyone who is half way serious about pictures. I am a Photography Student, and even my professor is astonished with the resolution and quality.
I hope this helps a little bit!
great!!!!!!!!!! January 14, 2007

What's not to like? It ups the ante considerably from my D70. Just the improved viewfinder and low noise at high ISO were enough to justify the purchase.

I was about to drop all "big" reflex cameras for a pocket camera
Now I have both and I am astonished by Nikon's masterpiece
A bit complicated for my age but worth every penny
