Nikon D80 DSLR


What Nikon say:
The D80 features a new 10.2 effective megapixel DX Format CCD image sensor, bringing a new level of high resolution and sharp detail to the class while also providing plenty of freedom to crop creatively and print impressive enlargements. Nikon's DX Format sensor and Nikon F bayonet lens mount design assure unprecedented compatibility across the comprehensive assortment of AF Nikkor lenses and DX Nikkor lenses designed exclusively for Nikon digital SLR cameras.

What I say:
It has been a while since the D70 (and the marginally improved D70s) were released. Their 6 megapixel sensors were becoming well out of date and were losing sales to little brother D50. This release now puts the mid-prosumer DSLR back in its place in the Nikon range. A 10.2MP APS-C sensor (the same as the D200?) makes a lot more sense and has out done Canon's rival - the EOS 30D in terms of resolution. What I am wondering is: why would anyone purchase the D200 after this is released (status maybe) - both cameras have very similar specs. May be it will become more clear on its release when I can put both DSLRs side by side.

For more info on the eagerly awaited D80 check out DPreview.

On release you can buy the Nikon D80 from Elizabeth Digital Camera Centre - Nikon Pro Stockists.

Looks like digital cameras or digital videos are pretty much cheaper if you buy them directly from Japanese shop!
There’s a service which buys and ship them at very reasonable cost....I might try it out.

I found the service here:

It's sure taken a while but this new 10 eMP digital SLR carmera should fill the gap that Nikon has created with their product releases. It's also good to know that the standard mounts have been maintained for compatability. Look forward to getting a hands-on look at this camera myself.

Nikon is a camera brand, best known for producing SLR camera. As with the boom of digital cameras all over the world, Nikon joined the bandwagon by producing what they make best, thus the new era of the Nikon digital camera was born - digital SLR.

One of the best in DSLR, the Nikon digital camera called Nikon D70 is 6-mega pixel Nikon digital camera. Coated with polycarbonate over its stainless steel chassis, this Nikon digital camera is furnished with a 50mm AF Nikkor lens that can combine with an 18-70mm kit lens and still be portable enough to be carried around. It has a 200-1600 ISO effective speed range, great for taking pictures both in the shade and under the sun. and why won't it be?!Digital Camera

Great point - who would buy the D200 when you can get the D80??

What do you think about buying the D80 used on craigslist or eBay? I have never bought a used camera, but was wondering what you thought. Thanks!!

One of the newest products that Nikon has been enhancing is Nikon D80. It is one of the latest from the Nikon D series. Nikon has been improving some features as well as the quality of the resulting photographs.

Is there any available D80 camera in the market? I believe it has been replaced by the D90.

A high quality LCD screen viewfinder is a must have feature in digital camera, but on bright, sunny days, the image on the LCD screen can sometimes be difficult to view. Consider an optical viewfinder as a backup.
