Advantages: Lightweight and Easy to use piece of Craftsmanship Disadvantages: Perhaps not a durable as previous models
Nikon have expertise in camera manufacture and development that is not really comparable to other makes. They have developed their own metering systems and methods that others have just copied. The F80 continues this tradition and it really is a magnificent camera for both the Professional and the Non-Professional.
Lets talk about ergonomics later and start with what this camera can do to take pictures - the reason for buying it!
Firstly, any image quality you get from this camera is far superior to any digital camera if you are comparing two photographs taken by the same photographer, even if they are using the best digital camera available. Film is better because digital camera do not yet have the right number of pixels or quality of pixels at an affordable price. Having said that the quality of the image depends on the film ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Nikon F 80
Advantages: Movies, LiveView, 12.3 mpixels, build quality, excellent lens range Disadvantages: Still quite bulky for casual use. Expensive if that's all you want it for
, although it?s noticeably slower if using LiveView, which also seems to take ages coming into focus.
Lens Conversion Factor ? 1.5. This means that anyone used to the terminology of 35mm film-camera lenses will have to rethink the power of their existing lens collection. Under the old rule of thumb that a 50 mm focal length equalled 1 magnification, in digital days, it now represents 1.5 magnifications. This is because lenses don?t change, but the sensor of the D90 (and most other DSLRs) is about 66% the size of a 35 mm film negative (that?s about the same size as an APS negative ? remember them?). Hence my Nikkor 100 mm to 300 mm zoom is about 3 - 9 magnification (a power which would have needed a 150mm to 450 mm lens in ?celluloid days?)
Note: All Nikon lenses ?fit?, even the lenses from my 1970s NikonF, but don?t expect an old lens like this ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: exceptional Review of Nikon D90
Advantages: Beautiful bokeh, tack-sharp, vibration reduction, easy to use, many useful accessories Disadvantages: heavy, expensive, slight vignetting, prone to flaring
their version, the so-called "vibration reduction", was the 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 ED. An interesting lens to be sure, but Nikon owners really started to get excited at the announcement of the AF-S 70-200 F2.8 VR. This lens, a successor of a highly regarded line of professional lenses, turned out to be spectacular: the image stabila? sorry, the vibration reduction was possibly even more effective than Canon's and the image quality? Well, I am going to discuss that right now!
---Image quality---
The 70-200 VR is a tack-sharp lens, as you would expect of a lens in this price class. It is not even in the same ballpark as normal consumer lenses: the colours are vibrant, the details sharp, and the bokeh (the appearance of parts of the picture that our out of focus) is stunning. The lens is particularly famous for the silky smooth rendering of out ...
