Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body only) Reviews
It's easy to use and allows you to do some fairly impressive and more advanced things in photography. This camera is excellent. I can't wait to enlarge my photos to poster size. I upgraded to this camera and the clarity in each picture is startling. As you might imagine, I highly recommend this camera to most anyone who wants to do more that point and click even though you can do that quite well with this camera.
I also have a large collection of AF lenses that all work perfect with the D80. After being one of the last die-hard darkroom photographers in my area, I finally took the plunge and went digital. Film). All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase, and would recommend the D80 to anyone. I upgraded from a Nikon 6006 35mm, to the D80. Picture quality far surpasses that of the 6006 (although it is hard to compare Digital vs. Features are similar to my older Nikon so the learning curve was not too difficult.
When I got my new Nikon D80, I made a few tests. The D80's colors were smooth and bright. I recently decided to replace my Nikon D70. I have to admit I never did like the D70 camera.
Detail of course was better because of the extra 4 mps. Money (the D80 is no longer made and I got a great deal on a body only), mega pixels, and the brand. I took photos of the same subjects with the same lens and camera settings. My reasons were simple. If you have a D70 and not satisfied with your photos, try stepping up to a newer camera-you'll see a difference.
After a long time researching my options I set my sights on the the D80. The colors were never clean and vibrant, and detail was lacking. It took substandard photos. I have two extremely good Nikon lenses so changing to another brand was out of the question.
What a difference. The shadows dark without a muddy look. After looking at test photos on dpreview.com I knew replacing the d70 with a newer generation was the answer.
I would/will stay away from this company. This is not a review of the camera, but of a vendor. They put one price on their web page and tell you another when you call to place the order. It would be nice if they would honor the price they advertise. The say that they have a USA body Nikon D80 for 330 dollars. I guess it is true, there is no honor among thieves. The camera, I will still try to purchase elsewhere. On Time Digital is a horrible company to deal with.
Choose a more reliable retailer. Those guy are overpriced and not reliable. Takes great pictures. Just do not buy it from Photo Dynasty. I love this camera.
