The Nikon D80 - The Phenomenal Digital SLR From Nikon!

Nikon's sensational semi-professional D-SLR, the Nikon D80, will impress photographers across all levels and abilities, who want to expand the scope of their creative license.




The Nikon D80 inherits advanced auto focus and auto exposure performance from Nikon's previously award winning digital SLR camera, the D200.

The D80 features a new high-resolution image processing engine and a broad range of image functions that utilize the latest advancements in digital photography technologies.

This in turn expands on the creative freedom of both the amateur and professional digital photographer.

The Nikon D80's exceptional combination advanced image performance, speed, and reliability, with the D80's creative responsiveness, and efficiency will open up new horizons for focused photographers. The Nikon's image quality is pretty impressive.

Colors were accurate and neutral and the camera's meter did an excellent job of reading the scene and providing an accurate exposure. At times, mostly in extreme cases when the scene was dominated by darkness, the Matrix metering tended to preserve detail in the shadows at the expense of highlights.


Main Features of the D80 Include:

Nikon D80
  • A High resolution 10.2 MP DX CCD with superior sensitivity & low noise operation for clear, vivid prints even with oversize prints.

The D80 is one of the fastest cameras we've seen so far.

The D80 took only 0.1 seconds to power up and capture its first image.

Subsequent shots took 0.3 seconds without flash and 1 second with the flash turned on.

Raw shots were just as fast, with a shot-to-shot time of 0.3 seconds. Continuous shooting yielded 9 fine-quality 10.2 MP JPEGs in 2.7 seconds.

Nikon has proven that it is still very much pushing for market domination. With 10.2 megapixel resolution, lightning-fast performance, high-quality images with very low noise, & a huge number of features, we're sure the Nikon D80 will certainly not disappoint!
