Nikon D80 Review

by Ben Long

- A long-awaited successor to the Nikon D70s, the D80 arrives with a 10.2-megapixel sensor, a larger LCD, better performance, and many fine features. At $1300 (as of November 6, 2006) bundled with an 18mm-to-135mm lens, the D80 resembles the Canon EOS 30D in quality of components, ease of use, and price, but it also matches the higher resolution of the Canon Digital Rebel XTi and the Sony DSLR-Alpha 100K.

    Duration of ownership: 21 Months

    Strengths: Fantastic camera. Just spend a little time understanding its full capabilities and you will be quite impressed. Read the majority of comments and you will see there is really nothing to dislike. I would purchase the camera again today even with the newer models available.

    Weaknesses: None encountered

    Overall Evaluation: Worth the extra cost at the time of purchase. Now being discounted makes it even a better buy.

    Strengths: Easy to use in Automatic, Easy to learn more advanced mode, the Nikkor 18-135 lens is one of the best lenses on an outfit that you can grow with. Excellent battery life

    Weaknesses: No GPS, No Wifi

    Overall Evaluation: I had the Canon 40D Outfit with the 28-135 lens and it felt very cheap so I returned it and bought this Nikon D80 Outfit with the 18-135 Lens. This camera was $300 cheaper and the quality in every aspect compared to Canon is above and beyond. The grip just feels right. This is a camera that I can grow with and I will use this lens on the next Nikon I get when this one becomes obsolete. The 18-135 lens is perfect for all usual shots, Wide Angle with excellent zoom without switching lenses. After this purchase, I know I will stick to Nikon Quality.Also there is an excellent video on youtube on how to use the the Nikon D80. Search for "Nikon D80 DVD"
