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.

 DX lenses 18-135mm focusing problems June 28, 2009
Jay Inocando
I have used the D80 camera with the 18-135 lens kit that was a package when I bought it in Dec 2006. Not even 3 years and the lenses has malfunctioned. I was on vaction in Yellowstone and the camera does not focus anymore, so I ended up doing manual focusing. I knew it is the lens because I have 2 other G lenses from my old N65 and the camera focuses well when using the old lenses. Nikon only has a 1 year warranty on this. Otherwise, before the lenses broke it was a great camera. Nikon has very poor customer support.
 Problems with the Lens June 25, 2009

Nikon D80 so far deliver great pictures. only problem i see is with the lens. Nikkor 18-135 giving issues with Auto focus mode. but only advantage is lens has more warranty around 4 years. so no issues, you can keep on sending it for repair if you are patient enough
 Excellent Digital SLR June 22, 2009
Shawn Newberry (Vancouver)
Though not a professional camera, it is still very advanced. The price has dropped significantly since the D90 came out. Though the D90 does have a few more options like video, I was looking for a camera. I had an old Nikon that used film and wanted a camera that I could use the old AF lenses with. The D60 & D5000 require that the lens have a motor in them, so I would not have been able to use my old lenses.
Though I have only used my camera a few times, I have already taken a few thousand photos with it. There is no fear of taking that perfect picture like there was with film. With Digital, I take a few hundred pics and then narrow it down to that one perfect picture. I love the quality of the pics that the D80 takes. In daylight, the color of the eyes comes out crystal clear.
I recommend buying a DVD that explains all the options and an interactive book that explains the options. There is so much that this camera can do, it will take me years to master it. By the time that I do, I will be ready for an upgrade.
Weather sealing June 11, 2009
Mr. J. D. Glasgow (Australia)
there have been so many reviews of this camera that I doubt there is much I can add, except this...I have been an amateur photographer for nearly thirty years and about 10 years ago switched to Nikon film cameras. I have an F80 and an F90X, but my favourite is my F90X with MB10. I love the robustness of it. In February I purchased a Nikon D80 and just after bought an MBD80 for it. I was initially worried that it would not be the equal of my tough F90, however, last weekend, on the Monday public holiday I accidently left my D80 outside and it was rained on for two hours, quite heavy rain. I am immensely relieved to be able to say that the camera, though thoroughly wet on the outside, is fine. No water had penetrated the lens mount, the memory card hatch or the rubber boots which cover the connections on the side of the body. The top screen is fine and the rear screen is fine too. I had the sense not to turn it on and see if it was OK. I took the MBD80 off and the batteries out of it. I dried all the outside surfaces with tissue and let it sit in a warm room near a heater for that night and half the next day. When I put the batteries back in the MBD80 it fired up OK. I have read forums where people have said that the D80 weather sealing is not pro level, well, if people expect it to be better than this they should buy a Nikonos
Don't Buy This Camera at this price! May 28, 2009
Jeremy D. Mayer (Arlington, VA)
The D80 is a great camera, with which I have taken many pictures. The description here is accurate...BUT BUT BUT--this model is superseded by the D90 in SO many ways. And for some reason, right now on Amazon, a new D90 is selling for less than this D80. That's insane. Everything the D80 can do, the D90 can do at least as well, and many things better, and you get video, too. Indeed, the D80 is so old now, that in many ways, lower end Nikon DSLRs are superior (D40s, D60s, D5000s). The only person who should buy a D80 at this price is someone who likes to burn money. In a just and fair world, the D80 would be priced around [...] bucks. Then, you'd really have a decision to make--go with the updated D90, for double, or get a great camera at [...].
Again, it's a great camera, but someone is ripping you off at this price.
