 Awesome! May 21, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this camera three months ago after having twins because I wanted a good camera to document their growth and that is just what I got. I bought the camera, the case and a 4GB card from amazon, cheaper than anywhere else in town and the items arrived quickly and in great shape. I love this camera and use it daily though I am still figuring out all of the functions. It takes crisp, clear shots and is reminiscent to me of my old Nikon N6o, that I loved. If you are looking for a decent, digital SLR, I highly recommend this one.
Amazing Camera May 18, 2008

This camera goes above and beyond anything I could have imagined. It works well the my Sigma lenses I already had and you really can use it to point and shoot or take full control yourself. I have taken some amazing shots with this camera. I recommend getting the DVD that describes all of the camera's functions in more depth. It was a great way to learn the camera.
Very Happy May 18, 2008

I researched the Canon EOS 450D and the Nikon D80 for quite some time. All the reviews for both cameras were very positive (making it even more difficult to choose.) Finally decided on the Canon because of the updated feature set and the higher resolution. After checking a few stores, I finally was able to put an incoming camera on hold (with a down payment) at my local Circuit City. After three day's of use, I ended up returning it for the Nikon D80; don't get me wrong, the Canon was a lovely camera but for me it came down to the ergonomics and build quality. Before buying the Canon, a photographer friend who uses all Nikon's commented that both cameras are good cameras but the Nikon could be likened to a Mercedes and the Canon a BMW (no offense to BMW's of course). At the time, I had no clue what he meant, but after using the Canon, and previously demoing the Nikon, I knew what he meant. The Canon's hand grip and significantly lighter weight were uncomfortable for me. The included kit lens (although stabilized) also left much to be desired. Although subjective, the build quality, weight, and ergonomics (button placement, feel, and additional external LCD screen) of the Nikon D80 are very pleasing.
In the end, I think anyone interested in either camera should do like the reviews say and try them out to see which feels better, something that I wasn't able to do as the newness of the Canon did not lend to the stores wanting to even open a box for me to compare. I think anyone would be happy with either, but for me, I'm very happy that Circuit City's exchange program allowed me to exchange, no regrets with the D80 - I love it!
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.
 The camera has a few problems... May 11, 2008

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!
