Obviously, I am enamored with the Nikon D80. As one who has extensively used the D100, D70s, and D200, I was curious as to how the D80 would “shake out” in comparison with these fine cameras. The answer is that it does very well indeed.

Strength:

An earlier reviewer mentioned that the D80 was slow, however, the only times I've ever seen this is when I had to use a slow SD card. Ordinarily I feed this camera a SanDisk Extreme III, and it's blindingly fast. What I like most is that this camera is NOT a menu driven camera. Just about anything you need has an external control which minimizes going to the menu screen (something I hate about Canons).

Weakness:

Clearer ISO above 600 would have been nice. I compensate by using very fast glass, something that has worked very well for me.

I've worked with the Nikon D80 for about 3 years. I purchased it the day after my Olympus E-10 died. I've taken about 10-12000 images with no problems. The experience I've had with the D80 has been so good that I will be buying a D700 this summer, unless there is a D700x/s coming out...my D80 will be used as a backup.

I used the Nikon D80 for a couple of years. Mostly outdoor photographs, no studio photos. I think this is an incredible camera for someone new in photography because has enough features so you do not get overwhelm and gives you time to focus more in other areas, such as the understanding of composition and natural-light. Even the disadvanteges can be turn into advantages. I used to take soccer and surf photos and the speed of the D80 is rather slow (2.5) so that gives you the opportunity to train your eye, your timming, to read your environment properly. I used this camera for about 3 years and i learned a lot about photography with it, now i upgrade to a Nikon D300, another whole new world. In short, if you are new to phtography, you are looking for your first DSRL, go for it.
