    5 Stars Nikon D80 - an innovative, professional and easy to use camera Review with images 12/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A high quality camera with an array of useful features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little heavy, but this does not affect my 5 star rating

    If you are familiar with my reviews you will be aware that a few weeks ago I discussed one of our two cameras, namely Fujifilm Finepix AV200, which perfectly meets our requirements for simple snap and shoot photography. The review briefly mentioned our main camera, the Nikon D80, which I can vividly remember purchasing brand new 5 years ago within days of its’ launch, as I almost passed out when I entered those four digits for my debit card to authorise the £999.99 payment! I would point out that this price was inclusive of the 18 – 135 mm lens. WHAT WERE OUR SPECIFICATIONS AND REASONS FOR ... more

    5 Stars Nikon D80 DSLR + 18-135mm Nikkor lens Review with images 22/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages perfect grip, large prismatic viewfinder

    Disadvantages Disadvantages doesn't have internal memory

    Nikon D80 My first real DSLR camera, which I have become addict to even if it requires me to learn a lot and keep challenging myself into operating it better and better ammoed with knowledge. It had been my dream to own a SLR camera, I've always had a passion for the big cameras and I was jealous of the pro photographers and the pictures they got. When I was little, my parents had an old Czech-made camera including all the stuff you need to develop the pictures yourself at home and so we were always full of photographs of me and my brother, that's where I started to love the stuff ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good quality photos, nice design

    Disadvantages Disadvantages -

    I am not a photography whizz but I do really enjoy doing photography when I get time. Now, bare with me photography experts if I say something that you don't agree with on this camera as I have never reviewed a Digital SLR before and am still getting to grips with my Nikon. I mainly use my Nikon D80 camera at work as we use the photos for our design work but I am still developing my photography knowledge every day with using this camera but have to say it has been great for me so far to use and I will share my thoughts with you all. APPEARANCE All Nikon Digital SLR cameras have a really sleek ... more

    5 Stars A D200 squeezed into a D70 body 17/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages viewfinder, resolution, lcd, menu system, build, professional, responsive, metering, battery, d-lighting, AF, ergonomics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages dslr dust(?), kit lens CA, incandescent white bal, price, expensive RAW software extra.

    The long-awaited upgrade/replacement to the D50 &/or D70s, the D80 is a sterling product which packs an awful lot into a tried-and-tested body. As this is a review, not a specification list, its features will be reviewed, not listed (which is surely why you visit Ciao!); specs are all over the internet, the implementations of these features are what we need to know . . . First off, the body Ergonomically, this is as good as they come for entry-level and semi-pro bodies. A mix of the d50's lightness and compactness, with the d70's solid feel and build-quality, it is a wonder to hold and use ... more

    5 Stars Nikon D80 - Digital SLR 22/11/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quality Lenses, High level imaging, good all rounder as an SLR

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Heavy and large to handle.

    Nikon D80 Digital SLR As with my reviews, I will assume you will go to find the detailed technical specifications of the camera from a dedicated site, and are relying on a 'real life' and 'lived with it' opinion. Please refer to Nikon.com for detailed specs. The D80 is somewhere between a consumer and professional range of camera. Typically you are getting the technology that was utilised on the professional D200 camera on a mid-range camera today. This is part of the inevitable technological advances, where today's top of the range options become tomorrow's bread and butter. The 10.2 ... more
