 Not Great October 5, 2008

I researched the D80 for a year before I bought it. I ended up getting the D80 with the 18-135 lens. Then I bought the 10-20mm Sigma lens; and next I bought the 50-300mm Sigma Macro lens. Every review basically said it was amazing. Well, I have never been more disappointed! This camera is NOT worth what it costs. To date I've spent well over $2,000 and it simply can not compare to my 40 year old Konica film SLR.
Good points: screen size; start up speed; ability to take numerous pictures in a row very quickly; easy menu & good editing programs.
Bad points: 18-135mm lens is obviously cheap and takes very poor pictures (unless you're just going quick indoor shots - then it's okay); the pop-up flash is weak - very, very weak; the printed picture quality is abysmal - always looks flat; the manual settings do not work like a normal SLR - the light meter is off and I need to always go darker or the pictures are very white
I have been using film SLR's for many, many years but as good film is harder & harder to find, I "upgraded" to the D80. I have no confidence in it however, and am now going back to shooting with my film SLR (using slide film) as a backup to the D80.
I do not recommend this camera. Buy a point & shoot digital instead - the picture quality can't be any worse. This is not a good investment.

While it took many months of research and comparison, I finally narrowed the decision down to the Nikon D80. I have to say that I was slightly influenced by the slight lead that Nikon continues to hold in their high quality lenses. My main choice was between the Nikon D80 and the Canon EOS. My hands are smaller, and the Nikon just seemed to fit better.
The capabilities of both systems are amazing, and it boils down to which you like better. The in camera editing feature of the D80 is a nice touch and has been useful occasionally.
I am by no means anything more than an amateur shooter, but this camera has been easy to use, and to figure out more as I progress in my capabilitys. For a hobbyist, this is a great appetizer before you jump to the pro level cameras, and teaches you many things.

The Nikon D80 is an excellent camera, with more features than other SLR cameras in its price range. My only disappointment is that the D90 was announced one month after I purchased the D80. From what I can see, the D90 is a better camera for the same price.
