Nikon D80 w/ 18-55mm f/3.5-4.5 AF-S DX lens review

By Philip Ryan

Excellent color rendition and noise levels; large feature set; highly customizable; lightning-fast performance.

Full raw editor costs extra; flash sync of 1/200 second.

Nikon scores big with the D80, its new 10-megapixel, sub-$1,000 dSLR.

Nikon D80 Digital Camera Review

By Patrick Singleton

The Nikon D80 is a 10.

Good control interface, Excellent auto focus, Controls Nikon flashes wirelessly,  Good image quality, Handles noise well at high ISOs (improvement over D200), Solid construction

Slow burst mode, Some colors very oversaturated, Weak in-camera sharpening doesn't maximize resolution, Color reproduction not as accurate as we would have liked, Better dust seals, SD cards not compatible with other Nikon DSLRs

The 10-megapixel Nikon D80 is a success in a conservative way. Nikon didn't add the dust reduction system or stabilization that many competitors are introducing this year. Still, it has most of what the D200 has for hundreds of dollars less, and adds feat...

The Nikon D80 is a 10.2-megapixel DSLR for just under $1,000. It's a successor to the 6.1-megapixel D70s, Nikon's wildly popular consumer model. The D80 lacks both, yet costs more than its cohorts.

Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Review

By Alex Burack

With two DSLRs below it in the line, Nikon's D80 takes a full-featured approach to the sub-$1,000 DSLR design. Equipped with controls and options tailored to more mature shooters, the versatile D80 is poised to appeal to experienced photographers without...

Nikon's D80 took the speed race in the head-to-head competition, shooting a slightly faster 2.8-frame-per-second (fps) burst than both the 2.7 fps Rebel XTi and the 2.5 fps Alpha A100. The D80 also was quicker to start up, which will ensure spontaneous mo...

Nikon D80 User Review

By zo5o

Released in 2006, the Nikon D80 was Nikon's follow up to its successful predecessor the D70, both of which are Nikon's competitive response to Canon's entry level DSLRs the Rebel XTi and XT. The Nikon D40 and now the D40x were also recently introduced 200...

The D80 is definitely a great entry DSLR that still provides future growth.

The Nikon D40 and now the D40x were also recently introduced 2006 and 2007 respectively and these now constitute Nikon's primary entry level DSLRs priced more closely to the XT and XTi. Although there are entry level DSLRs offered by Sony, Pentax...

D80 Black SLR Digital Camera Kit w / 18-135mm Lens

By Ben Long

This fast, small 10-megapixel SLR has many appealing features, including a status LCD.

Excellent image quality; sturdy body, Many features, such as in-camera editing

Price is a little high

Though it costs more than the Digital Rebel XTi and the DSLR-Alpha 100K, the Nikon D80 delivers a lot more features, too. If you're considering the Canon EOS 30D, you should take a close look at this camera. Nikon and Canon camera layouts differ and you m...

A long-awaited successor to the Nikon D70s, the D80 arrives with a 10.2-megapixel sensor, a larger LCD, better performance, and many fine features. Experienced Nikon shooters will feel right at home with the D80's front- and rear-mounted control...

Nikon D80

By Chick Harrity

I thought that I had Nikon's DSLR lineup figured out pretty well, ranking the D2X as the F5 of my generation and the D200 as the very capable F100 that came to be my favorite all-around film camera because of its size, weight and great performance

In short, the D80 seems to be a well-rounded and very reasonably priced addition to almost any Nikon user's camera bag
