...Responsiveness
As usual, Nikon have excelled at this too. Start-up to first capture is sub-second, meaning you never miss a moment. It's ready to shoot faster than you can move you hand & fingers, and shutter lag is virtually excluded. Focussing has been improved, providing ultra-fast auto-focussing with all lenses supported; the menu system is responsive, allowing you to fly through the menus without having to wait for them to load; this is great, ... ...the CoolPix series of cameras, Nikon has introduced in-camera control / post-processing features, such as D-Lighting (brightening the shadows without popping the highlights), red-eye reduction, b&w mode, crop and a few others. These are great, and work well, saving the modified images as a new image so as not to 'lock in' your changes on the original. While its probably best to do this kind of processing on a pc, the d80 makes it easy and functional ...

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 ... ...and most retailers utilise the Nikon standard deals, therefore you get Nikkor lenses. Lenses range from as little as one hundred pounds up to as many as tens of thousands of pounds. You should look to budget around £200 for a good lens that gives you some range of zoom. Sigma, Nikkor and Tamron are names you will find easily. With a 'pocket' digital camera, you are buying a lens that is fixed into the camera and limited in optical quality. Even though ...

Advantages: Image quality and build quality Disadvantages: Lots of noise at high ISO
Background
The Nikon D80 is Nikon's attempt to get back into the Prosumer market after the D70 & D70s were getting a bit long in the tooth. What they have cleverly done is take all the decent features from their D200 (which has recently been replaced by the D300) and mix it together with elements of the D50 to create an affordable camera for hobbyists who wish to take photography to the next level.
What's in the box
The list below is from a 'Body ... ...Strap
- USB Cable
- Nikon PictureProject 1.7 CD-ROM
- Nikon CaptureFX Trial CD-ROM
- Various reading materials such as Manual, Warranty and Registration cards
Overview
As mentioned at the beginning of this review the D80 is heavily based around the D200 and inherits features such as the 10.2 Megapixel sensor (the device which captures the image), 11 Autofocus zones, 2.5" LCD review screen, the EN-EL3e battery system and the ISO range of 100 ...

Advantages: Range of Nikon "F" lenses, Great picture quality, Endless amount of features!!! Disadvantages: Price!
2 1/2 years ago Nikon announced the six megapixel D70, their first affordable enthusiasts digital SLR, it proved to be a very popular camera and strong competitor to the Canon EOS 300D. Just a year and 1/2 later Nikon revealed the D70s which was essentially the same camera with a some subtle tweaks (improved AF, wider flash coverage, higher capacity battery, larger LCD monitor). And so just over 1 year on from the D70s Nikon present the latest incarnation ... ...This is how companies get you in the net - bring out a product costing £750 and then release a new model in 12 months time costing the same - you then kick yourself wishing you'd waited and like some people wanting the best, they sell thier old model for £400 and buy the new model. Now thinking they have the best - the company releases another new model!
And the idea goes on!!!!!
The D80 slots nicely between the entry-level D50 and the professional ...

Advantages: High quality sensor, fast, responsive, it's a Nikon! Disadvantages: Erratic light meter
This is my first Digital SLR camera and have found it to be very good overall. The 10.2 megapixel sensor records very fine pictures especially when set to 100 ISO. Noise or grain gets quite noticeable when set to 800 ISO and above but still usable up to 1600. The D80 is fast and responsive and has Shutter priority, Aperture priority, Manual and loads of Program modes which I never use. The viewfinder is bright and clear and the playback screen is ...

Manufacturer's 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.

I paid less than £300 for this camcorder and was expecting a basic Mini DV camcorder on par with a cheap Sony. What I found was pleasantly surprising. The quality of picture was very good and as good as any other 800,000 pixel cam. The sound is also very more
The Nikon D300 will currently set you back around £1000 in the UK, and that's without the glass on the front. My review here might seem technical to some, but that's not an amount of money most people part with lightly. I don't apologise for putting some more
I own this camera for quite a while now and I'm fully satisfied with it.
Though its 6.1 - 10.2 mega-pixel resolution was beaten with over 12 mega-pixel offered by new Nikon D300, for the price I paid Nikon D60 served me very well. Quality of pictures is more
