Nikon D80

Comments:
The Nikon D80 is the long-awaited replacement the the best-selling D70 and D70s digital SLRs. It's basically a D200 with a slightly different CCD sensor (though still 10 Megapixel) and a slower burst rate. And at $999 for the body only and $1299 with the

Review Verdict: Something else you'll need to pick up is a memory card. Unlike the D70's before it, the new D80 uses Secure Digital (as well as high capacity SDHC cards), and I'd suggest a 1GB card as a good starter size. Buying a "high speed" card is absolutely a good i

QuickTake:

Pros: Excellent photo quality, very low noise -- though see issue below ; Very solid for the most part ; easy to hold ; Super fast performance: fast autofocus + excellent continuous shooting mode ; Large, bright, and sharp 2.5" LCD ; LCD info display with backl
Cons: Images on the soft side straight out of the camera (in my opinion) ; Flimsy door over memory card slot ; Included software doesn't allow for RAW image manipulation ; Capture NX costs $150 more ; Suffers a bit from button clutter ; can be difficult to use

Comments:
Suddenly the 10 Megapixels market seems very crowded. The Nikon D80 competes among them with a large viewfinder, strong ergonomics, great build quality and a high-level of customization. Image quality is rather good with slightly over saturated colors for

Comments:
Small on the outside, big on the inside we take another look at the D80.

Review Verdict: Although Nikon D80 is supposed to be an entry level SLR you're actually getting a camera that is better than, or equal to, some more expensive SLRs. It's got some of the same features as the Nikon D200, like the same quality settings, 11 autofocus zones w

Comments:
Well, here we go again. As I write this, we have four enthusiast 10mp cameras on the market, with Canon, Pentax, and Sony being the competition this time around. Last time we had this type of burst of consumer DSLR product the rollout from the manufacture

QuickTake:

Pros: D1x image quality at half (or less) the price, , .I'm getting results out of the D100 that equal or exceed those from my D1x (though sometimes that takes a bit of post processing I don't have to do with the D1x). The more I use the camera, the more I disc
Cons: It's not a D1, . If you need fast flash sync, fast motor drive, or largerbuffer size, a D1h or D1x is what you want. [Or a D2h], , , JPEG quality, . The JPEG engine generates slightly soft JPEG images. Turning up sharpening isn't necessarily a good choice

Comments:
The arrival of the Nikon D80 completes the trio of high-profile 10 Megapixel digital SLRs. Of course more 10 Megapixel DSLRs are already on their way, but it's fair to say the greatest attention right now is focused on the D80, Canon 400D / XTi and Sony A

Nikon's sensational new semi-professional D-SLR, the Nikon D80, will impress photographers across all levels and abilities, who want to expand the scope of their creative license.

Review Verdict: Nikon has proven that it is still very much pushing for market domination. With 10.2 megapixel resolution, lightning-fast performance, high-quality images with very low noise, & a huge number of features, we're sure the Nikon D80 will certainly not disapp

Nikon D80 Review

Comments:
2006 has been the most interesting year to date in the digital reflex market. In the early years, it was dominated by just a few manufacturers (Nikon and Canon), but recently they have been joined by several new players in a rapid tempo. Look at Sony, wit

Nikon D80 review

Comments:

Review Verdict: Like the D100-200 upgrade before it, this upgrade from the D70 to D80 is a worthwhile step up, both in ability and performance. The jump in pixel count and autofocus ability alone warrants the change, but there are literally dozens of other tweaks as you

Comments:
The Nikon D80 DSLR camera is aimed squarely at the enthusiast user. This new 10 megapixel model replaces the highly rated Nikon D70s and D70 and fits into the lower end of Nikon's DSLR product hi

Review Verdict: The Nikon D80 was one of the most hyped and eagerly anticipated 10 megapixel DSLRs announced this summer. At the time it was being favourably compared to its only other competitor, the Sony A100, but a lot has happened in recent months. There is now a ple
