 Great camera November 18, 2008
Kristina Vaitiekunaite (NV)
I love this camera. Takes great pictures. br /Just do not buy it from Photo Dynasty. Those guy are overpriced and not reliable. Choose a more reliable retailer.
A Winner November 17, 2008
Linda Armstrong (Grand Junction, Colorado USA)
I shoot western Colorado landscapes for microstock sites. I need a camera with low image noise, smooth focus, long battery life, and durability. br / br /I love Nikon. I have had Nikon SLRs since I started shooting stock in the late 70s. They are dependable, quality instruments. The D80 is no exception. No point-and-shoot, it feels like my old F2. It takes beautiful pictures in all kinds of weather. br / br /You will need at least one extra battery. The battery life is long--three or four 2 gig cards worth of RAW pictures, for me--but you will want this baby with you all the time. br / br /I bought the body only, because I had the lens from my D70, but you will want a VR zoom or a fixed lens for maximum sharpness. I don't like tripods and don't use them as often as I should. The remote is useful for closeups. It helps you avoid camera shake, especially in low light.

You can't take a bad shot with this camera. It helps, however, to either take a class or buy a dvd that takes you step by step through all features.
I LOVE this camera!!! November 16, 2008
Audra Gosdin (southern usa)
This camera was easy to use right out of the box. It gives high quality photo, that we used to have to pay others to take. You will not regret this purchase.
Does everything I ask. November 3, 2008

I bought this over a month ago. I was a happy owner of the great D40 but I like using prime lenses and the D40 did not support auto focus on the 50mm 1.8 and 35mm f2. I could have spent money on third party lenses instead but decided to just get a new body. Well, I am glad I made the move. The D80 takes slightly better pictures anyway but in terms of usability, it's way better than the D40. Fully loaded. I love it. The D90 is out now and is gonna be a better machine but the D80 should be a definite consideration if you are looking for a cheap DSLR that will never let you down. The design and quality are top notch. The only minor gripe is that it slightly over-exposes. However, this is a common fault on digital sensors and is easy to fix before or after. Still a winner. br / br /Bottom line. If you are looking at a D40/60 then you will be happy with the results. However, if like me you are the type of person that really likes to get into a hobby go for the more functional D80.
