Product Description
One of the key advances developed for the D80 is its high-resolution image-processing engine. At its heart is a dedicated high-performance processing chip that greatly accelerates performance on all levels, while also consuming less power than its predecessors. It also inherits advantages developed exclusively for Nikon's latest professional digital SLR cameras, combining color independent analog pre-conditioning with improved 12-bit digital image processing algorithms. The result is natural-looking images that benefit from faithful color and tone reproduction. The level of performance attained allows the engine to rapidly and efficiently process the 10.2-megapixel resolution images captured by the DX Format CCD image sensor.

 Lovin' it January 8, 2009
Jack Cheng (West Roxbury, MA United States)
Great camera and lens. Took it on a trip to Chile -- lots of shots of mountains, architecture and little kids. The photos look great, the camera was easy to use without any previous instruction, and a 2MB card and one battery lasted me almost the entire 2.5 week trip (got about 800 photos on one card and then switched it out; battery is still good to go).
NIKON D80 - BEST PURCHASE I'VE MADE!! January 8, 2009
L. A. Hodge
I am really am enjoying my new camera! It is the best equipment i have taken photos with. It is easy to use- just enough camera to use as an amateur, but alot more for taking it to the next level! I am very pleased with my purchase. Amazon was fast, efficient, and bought with much confidence!
thanks.
User-friendly at the basic level December 31, 2008
J. Eyre (Southeastern PA)
The camera comes with a Quick-Start guide that makes it incredibly user friendly for the basics. For the many, many advanced features, though, the user manual is a must!
This camera takes beautifully clear pictures and does a great job with anti-redeye. It's weighted nicely and is useable one-handed, if necessary. Only drawback we've found, thus far, is that it doesn't shoot video.
I love this camera! December 25, 2008

This is a wonderful camera. I am not a professional photographer, but have been taking wildlife and sports photographs since the early '70s (Nikon F2). I still have it...
The D80 is my first foray into digital SLRs (I first bought a Nikon Coolpix to "test the waters" and loved it). I must admit, I put an awful lot of thought into this purchase. Money is, of course, a major consideration. I really want the D300, but this is out of my price range right now. I vacillated between the D80 and the D90, but finally decided that the video feature (which I would NEVER use, the Live View (which I would not use either)and the added 2MP were not worth the additional cost-I would rather transfer that amount of money to lenses. As a result, I went with the D80 body and two lenses-an 18-55mm and a 70-300 VR zoom lenses. All of my photography is handheld because I rarely have time to set up a tripod. I shoot in a completely manual or aperature priority mode and I really, really like the way the D80 responds and the photographs I get. Not least of all, I especially like the way I can change the ISO from photograph to photograph, depending on the range and visual conditions. And finally, I have some very fast Nikon AF lenses that I think will work in the manual mode.
All in all, I am exceptionally pleased with this camera and would recommend it to anyone.

Bought for my wife who does professional color balance work. The quality is there and she is glad to have switched from film. She has had Nikons all her life and is more used to a high level of complexity that I find confusing. It is a rugged camera, and not at all heavy for what it does.We live in the mountains, so the camera is packed in demanding terrains weathers and seasons. The unit behaves flawlessly in the 8 months we have had it.
