  • Excellent performance. Superb image quality. Zoom lens offers fantastic 7.5X optical zoom coverage. Great burst performance.
  • Slightly more expensive than then the competition.
  • If you want more zoom from a kit lens and are willing to pay just a bit more for a D-SLR, the Nikon D80 is the camera for you....

  • Superb image quality, Instantly On, Excellent 3D Colour Matrix metering, Fast Autofocus, Unlimited Continuous mode at 3 frames per second in JPEG, Excellent viewfinder, Solidly built
  • Some noise above 400 ISO, Complexity of some Custom options, No PC terminal for third party flash, No RAW tools available with PictureProject, the supplied software
  • The Nikon D80 is the replacement for the D70/D70s, positioned between the D50 — Nikons entry-level digital SLR — and the D200, which is much more complex. This new SLR offers a DX type CCD with a 10.2 megapixel resolution. In comparison...

  • Excellent resolution, lots of detail, not a leap from eight megapixels, but certainly from six, Excellent build quality, tight shut lines, quality materials, Instant power on, very responsive, very short black-out time, very fast media write, Fast, accura...
  • High sensitivity (ISO) noise levels higher than Canon EOS 400D, Noise reduction can be intrusive, although adjustable, more grain-like appearance, Default sharpness level perhaps still a little conservative, Disappointing automatic white balance performan...
  • The number of cons, and the fact that there are no serious ones, is a testament to the thought and work that has gone into the D80s design. Its one of those cameras which just feels right and sorted from the moment you pick it up. Things just get ...

  • Images with high detail and low noise, Superior build quality and handling to rivals, Best viewfinder experience in its class, Superb metering, flash and AF performance
  • Higher price than rival 10Mpixel DSLRs, No physical anti-dust feature, No anti-shake in standard kit, RAW adjustment software not included
  • here’s how it measures up against several key models. Compared to Nikon D70s Despite being closer in many respects as a successor to the entry-level D50, the D80 officially replaces the D70s. There’s certainly many reasons to upgrade from the...
