Pros: Funny, suitable for old-fashioned photographers, it gets (sometimes) even the photos wrong, amazing black and white.

Cons: It has none of the amenities that modern cameras have.

Opinion: I bought it back after many years, practically as new. What can I say! For an aged photographer it is like being young again. Before shooting you have to study the "light", in the interior you have to mount the flash, you have to know how to frame and how to expose. Fantastic! Don't ask her for plastic photos or monstrous hdrs: she just doesn't do them. I did a job for a magazine: the print is superb!

Pros: Naturalness of the CCD sensor, using it is like Linus' blanket!

Cons: Taking into account the past time I would say nothing apart from the yield over 800 ISO.

Opinion: Bought new in 2008 as a second body, used little until it was mothballed for some time and finally exhumed to my great satisfaction about 18 months ago. It is of a disconcerting simplicity of use compared to the latest novelties, yet in landscapes and portraits, using good bright optics, it offers very enjoyable files with excellent colors and excellent sharpness despite only 10 MPX. If you use a little attention in the shots you avoid cropping by not making too much regret cameras with sensors more pixelated. My advice is not to go beyond 800 ISO under penalty of an overall decay not easily correctable in PP. Now it acts as a squire to a D780, but I use it much more often than in the past.

Pros: double bezel, adequate image quality, internal af motor, resolution suitable for old lenses, price of used

Cons: dated machine, lack of live view and video

Opinion: Purchased used, a few days ago, as the first SLR for my daughter. As a simple amateur photographer, I started using it with curiosity and I can only confirm the previous reviews. The double bezel simplifies manual use and the Af seems fast enough. The resolution is adequate for (amateur) prints up to 30x40. The use of bright lenses, as always (and almost mandatory for dated SLRs), allows you to get good quality images. As already widely written, it allows you to use lenses without internal Af. Ultimately a good camera for those approaching photography, without worrying too much about carrying it around.

Pros: All

Cons: Nobody, in fact I almost buy another

Opinion: An adjective for the D80? Gorgeous, or wonderful. Does it not withstand high ISO? Shoot with the D80 at 3200 ISO and convert to BW, you will be pleasantly surprised... at least to me it made this effect, with a visible grain yes, but fine and pleasant, film style. The colors are beautiful at low ISO, of course. Guys, light up the set! There are flashes, the sun... LIGHT LIGHT. At low ISO it is nothing short of superb. For "reasoned" portraits it's super. Try it with old luminous manual optics... what a show. To those who write that he does not "digest" dark optics: I attached the 35-80 f4-5.6 ... WOW. More optical machine, 80 euros plus 40 euros you will have 120 euros of Nikon of the highest quality, obviously with the right light.... Highly recommended to those who have doubts about the SLR to start and maybe even continue. I read that it has the same sensor as the D200, which one day I will have. Doesn't make videos? Guys, here you take pictures! Rating 10!

Pros: Fantastic CCD sensor with low iso and natural colors that with other recently produced SLRs has nothing to envy.

Cons: High iso and do not use dark lenses but rather high quality and bright.

Opinion: I had my first Nikon D80 purchased in 2009 and it gave me so much satisfaction until after 10 years he left me and I bought another one that I use for the macro with Sigma 105 os-dg macro lens. What I can say that returns files from the rendering of natural colors. I advise those who are beginners with basic photography to buy it is an excellent gym, the price in the second-hand market is really ridiculous between 150-200 euros. The only thing I can tell you is that the Nikon D80 can still have its say and I wish you a good luck. Rating 9.1

Pros: Superb CCD.

Cons: He fears poorly resolving optics, dark optics and light scarcity in general.

Opinion: I bought this camera in November 2006 in kit with the 18 135 not stabilized, and then I paid it 1,180 euros. Now in my opinion it is necessary to distinguish: The lens in kit is really dark and underperforming, perhaps suitable for photos for family memories, but vice versa the machine body is absolutely performing and has all but all the adjustments useful to get an excellent photo. I also have a D3X and I can say that the infinite micro adjustments that the D3X offers via menu only take away the night's sleep without adding anything to those of the younger sister. Of course the adjustments that the D3X offers via button are much faster to make because it is a heavy duty studio machine designed for the professional who does not stop shooting even when he has to correct the parameters of the shot. The D3X produces 50MB NEF files and 70Mb! TIFF files that are practically unusable unless I have a very expensive computer, so I'm forced to shoot in Jpeg from about 10Mb. The D80 jewel shoots 10Mb NEF and is perfect for working on NEFs directly. The dynamic range of the D3X is really very deep, and despite being from 2014, it remained the state of the art until the advent of Sony alpha. From this point of view, the dynamic range of the D80 is less wide. However, the 10mp dx CCD sensor returns much more ringing and verve-filled colors than the D3X's 24.5mp fx and no postproduction filters are needed. The photos of the D80 are ready and perfect for the taste of the web and Instagrammers in particular. I used it with a very soft, fairy mood, Zenith Helios 58 44 7 to f.2 and it gave me some fairytale photos, with warm, saturated and harmonious colors. I used it with the much more resolving and tonally balanced Nikkor 105 afs d micro a f3.2 and it gave me outstretched lines and pop colors to say the least bright. I used it with the 17 55 dx afs g and it gave me superbly detailed photos with precise and saturated colors. I always use the battery pack that gives an unexpected vigor to the autofocus to take over the machine. At ISO 1600 the yield is not obvious but still it is not always unpleasant. Today's price is really lower than its potential, and unfortunately suffers from the madness that Nikon made in displacing the buyers of the D80 by presenting shortly after the D90. With the 28 70 afsd becoming a 42 105 on the ccd 1.5x go... at the wedding! He fears dark optics, poor optics in terms of solvence, and lack of light. Change it after 15 years of living together? But neither is it!!! Rather, I would renew my promises...

Pros: Gorgeous colors, noise all in all contained to high iso that for the d80 stop at 1600 if pulled to 3200.

Cons: But we're joking.

Opinion: Thanks to the reviewers that preceded me I met the D80, since I was looking for my Nikon optics a not very expensive machine (in the past I was the owner of a D750) bought with 15,000 shots for about 89th !!!!!!!!!! practically new, no sign of wear, if I had paid much more it would have been a bargain anyway, the features and results are really great saturated and natural colors. A beautiful beast.

Pros: Great CCD sensor. Light and handy to carry.

Cons: Valid although slightly less robust construction than Nikon d70 and d70s

Opinion: I bought it new in 2009, it's a great reflex that doesn't lack anything compared to today's SLRs. 10 mpixels that are enough for the use that I make, Light files to handle with PC. These are lightweight semi-pro Reflexs to take with you on your travels, less sophisticated than new models using more modern electronics, but the differences in photography aren't all that different from the newer models. I like it because it has the ccd sensor. When used with old optics it gives satisfaction.

Pros: CCD, handling, internal motor, double time-opening, yield with vintage lenses, double display, negligible cost on the used market

Cons: High ISO

Opinion: Socket used on Juza market over a year ago, so I can say I know her well. The CCD has a rendering impossible to find on the C-Mos sensors, especially as regards the color palette. That's why when I took the D 7200 on the first I was puzzled, despite the superiority of its characteristics. In every point of view. But always and only on the numerical level: when you pass to the observation of the files, those products with good light show the substantial diversity of the D80 but not for this they decree the inferiority. Their naturalness indeed makes them sometimes prefer. If you then mount the right lens things get even better: I bought recently a Sigma 30 EX 1.4 old that while on D7200 is fine but without any particular exploits, with the D80 form a combination of excellence. Looking at the files so produced is inevitable to wonder what they serve more modern machines and what is in practical terms the enormous progress that is attributed to them. This also makes us understand that beyond the prerogatives of every single machine and objective, what is obtained from their pairing is not only given by the arshyetic sum of the parties involved, but in some cases you can have results that go beyond what we speci Would consider each of them individually. The opening of 1.4 allows you not to climb too much with the ISO even with poor lighting. Another very interesting aspect of D80 is the ability to match with vintage lenses, such as the Nikon 28-80 D. Apart from the very fast autofocus, even with that you have excellent photographic results, for a ridiculous price. A coupled of the genre is put together with less than 200 euros, which makes it in my opinion the D80 more advisable than any current entry level. Also because of the double-ring controls for times and diaphragm and the presence of the internal motor, which allows to operate with any AF lens, even those without its own engine. For that figure, indeed, if you buy wisely we run out even a discreet flashetto, which allows to circumvent in large part the limits of the machine at high ISO, which are particularly highlighted with low light and at night without a tripod, while Day even by shooting at 1600 ISO you will not notice noise problems.

Pros: Sensor output, controls in the right place, construction, internal autofocus motor

Cons: Few megapixels, lack of sensor cleaning function.

Opinion: Purchased from a few days, taken as a second Battle corps. Considering that we are in 2018 and the machine is output in the 2006 you can only be amazed by the files that churn especially for jpgs that are ready with natural colors and a good definition. I think it's perfect to match our portrait lenses. After the 800 ISO starts to show considerable noise but personally I try to always work under the 800. I have to say it made me regret having spent 700euro to buy the D3300 just out. If I knew the quality of this d80 paid 70euro with 20 thousand shots I would have invested the other 630euros in a serious optics.

Pros: Ergonomics of controls, robustness, top screen, autofocus internal motor, ccd sensor, good viewfinder

Cons: Noise already present at 400 iso, no other important counter

Opinion: Well-built camera with easy-access key commands. When there is enough brightness and therefore you can keep the bass (under 400) can still compete with the latest reflexes. The ccd sensor delivers colors I did not find in later reflexes equipped with CMOS sensors. The sore note is the noise already present at 400 iso and unacceptable above 800. With the limits mentioned above, it is still advisable also now as a forklift, practical and fun

Pros: Bodied, smaller than the D90 that I owned, ISO1000 good, CCD, and everything has a semi-pro

Cons: 1/4000

Opinion: I bought it used in England for € 127 and fascinated by the D90 that I sold, I took this for CCD that together with Nikon Ai-S MF go well. The user currently in marriages and with good high ISO sealing (I got to ISO 1000) of which I do not mind the soon result comes 50 f1.2 Ais and we'll see the results. Although it has a lot years it is still valid, and I prefer it to the entry level.

Pros: Excellent construction, very well arranged controls and LCD top with all information about the shooting. The sensor 10Mpx CCD has a beautiful color rendering and low ISO file produces lighter, cleaner and lavorabilissimi. AF motor inside that offers the ability to use older lenses. Battery life really matters. It keeps well up to ISO 800-1000, which is fine, in my opinion. I like the little button dedicated to the shooting mode (burst, remote control, etc.) can be operated with the ring.

Cons: On the main screen you can not see the shooting data in use (time diaphragms compensation and ISO can be read only on the top LCD). Besides 800-1000 ISO noise is quite noticeable and difficult to remove, but according to the light you can also take shots at 1600 (which is not too bad at all). One SD slot, but at the time were all of the output as well.

Opinion: I have a D7100 but I decided to get me a present and go back to a legendary car and more compliant with my lenses that I think are not up to the camera body of the D7100. I was torn between the D200 and the D80. I chose the latter. I found the bay to 160 Euros with 13,000 shots. Fantastic. I am aware that it is a less powerful machine of D7100 but it is also much less complicated, the files are lighter, has less resolution, in short, is more friendly, less tricky, very good for my needs. I always carry it with me on the beach, in the car around. He does his job very well and with the 35mm f1.8 DX is a perfect match, light and efficient. I really like the hot performance of the CCD and the fact that the files are small and manageable. There are also excellent for use JPG Room "cheeky" and smart machine. All main options are available with appropriate keys and rings. I made 3000 shots in a month simply because: I always carry around without fear of ruinRLA or otherwise, without studying the output "to take pictures." Have less pixels, eventually forcing you to study better because then the shot is diffcult to crop without losing detail. I that I was from and and D40 then the D90, I rediscovered the pleasure of "photograph" instead of "program the camera" which eventually did with the D7100 dropping on a thousand adjustments that presents and that you are always there to change. Working in M ??not use AUTO-ISO and "photographer" more. If the light is not there another picture do not shoot at ISO 6400 so then there lightorrom to recover the shadows. I am very happy and I recommend it to everyone who wants to take pictures of good (not great, huh) quality without spending a fortune on lenses or bright in PC space to edit RAW 35 MB. A camera humble and honest, suitable for an amateur like me who has little time to shoot and work in post. Obviously a PRO that my staff has to review not just the lawking.

Pros: excellent image quality, body semipro, economic, autofocus motor.

Cons: high and very high ISO (3200 and beyond), burst from 3fps, the absence of a true alzaspecchio (preset time of about 20 seconds).

Opinion: I write this review in December 2015, 9 years after the presentation of this reflex.rnUso this camera for 5 years, and after 70,000 shots I consider it perfect! Accompanied me on the road, in the mountains, the sea, cave, under the precipitation less, under the snow never plant me in the lurch. In addition to the known technical qualities I'd like to dwell on the fact that being particularly cheap compared to newer machines, you are less afraid to use it in critical situations, where it could be stolen or damaged, and this is an aspect rarely taken into account but which is very important! Everything is in its place and the settings can be changed even in the dark using snow gloves, without entering the menu vari.rnrnPersonalmente I also used the ISO 3200 available as an extension of the use and depending on the photos are usabilissime, 100 iso the yield is comparable to the most modern SLR, if not for dynamic range less extended, factor not always fondamentale.rnrnL'oculare uses the pentaprism, enOn the pentamirror like EntryLevel, and alone it is worth more than all the features of the latest entry level. If you do not believe me try to make the comparison and you will know what I mean (I came from a d40) .rnrnIn conclusion recommend this camera to anyone who wants to get quality photographs without spending a fortuna.rnrn

Pros: Body semi-pro - CCD Sensor - Ergonomics - Double ring - Monochrome display illuminated top - image quality - Af reliable - Price of used - Motor internal af

Cons: Iso high (over 800) - Burst slow

Opinion: It is in the market at around € 150 and a car is still absolutely valid, no doubt excellent for learning to photograph and for those who have very limited budgets. The picture quality is of a high standard at low ISO, falls precipitously over the 800 if in low light, with abundant light instead the results are printable up to 1600 using a little 'of PP and not demanding cleaning assoluta.rnIl body provides all the tools they need also to amateur evolved with double rings, dedicated keys will display illuminated top, if coupled with quality optics produces files absolute value thanks in part to the old CCD sensor. Use sports is limited both by the raffice rather slow, but compensates with an autofocus great considering his age. The engine allows the use of internal af older and cheaper (but optically valid) optical af-d.rnNon I consider a 10mp against because in practice the limits are only prints more than 30 * 40, are not the 10mp a cell phone. THEfiles allow you to post produce light with pc not very performanti.rnLa absolutely recommend to those approaches to photography with a very limited budget, I consider even now in some ways better than many entry level.

Pros: Handling, ccd sensor, engine af, commands well-balanced

Cons: It is an old machine now with obvious limitations, 3fps, lack live view, no video

Opinion: My job requires me to change often and sometimes while traveling I get to see beautiful locations or interesting subjects to photograph, then not wanting to take me always behind the D800E with various objectives I took a camera body d80 used accompanied by a 16- 85, and I must say it is really a great lavoro.rnLa thing that fascinates me most is made warm and clean the CCD sensor that produces raw file lavorabilissimi, 10 megapixels are not a big problem for people like me, and public displays images on the web, the small footprint and the versatility of the lens allow me to realize decent shots in various situazioni.rnIl monitor is large enough for a clear view of the shots, the body gives a nod to the semi pro and the presence of the upper display illuminated It is really comoda.rnConsigliata as second body for ease of use and robustness.

Pros: Price, quality and body sensor, additional display, engine af, ergonomics

Cons: Noise high ISO, ATM sd not in line with the overall construction

Opinion: My only reflex: simple, spartan and without fronzoli.rnUna robust machine that never leaves you on the street and (although not tropical conditions) well built, with engine af internal use also the first nikkor autofocus.rnIl Sony CCD sensor 10.2 Mpx produces excellent file and "warm" up to ISO 800-1250, after the noise is excessive and really fastidioso.rnConsiglio strongly this machine for those who want to start taking pictures seriously, without spending large sums or those in search of a second economic body but really funzionale.rn

Pros: Price, Last CCD

Cons: ISO seal, no AF calibration

Opinion: It practically mounts the latest CCD product for Nikon machines, and although it does not hold well beyond the ISO 400 and has little dynamic range has its fascination for warm colors and however raw easy to treat in post production, practically ready (typical of CCD sensors) , what is now used is a purchase to consider (alternatively d200) even for a possible IR mod.

Pros: A car has long been discontinued, I think the very best of this entry level has the backlit display is an autofocus that is never wrong.

Cons: At higher ISO shows a high noise.

Opinion: It 'a machine that now has a good value for money and true that MP has only 10 but the quality at low sensitivity and good, I have used having good satisfactions, the camera body is compact and not from the' fragilità.rnHa idea of ??an autofocus dated but efficient and quite fast, would recommend to anyone who wants to get started without spending many Euros and have a product is dated but still efficient.

Pros: Camera body very strong, very good quality / price ratio, accurate exposure as well as autofocus, backlit LCD display at the top

Cons: Both in long exposures at high ISO, the noise is too much present, even though you turn from the menu their reductions

Opinion: To start with is definitely a great machine that allows a relatively low cost to have a very valid and interesting product that can give great satisfaction! It 'sa Semi Pro which costs a little more than an Entry Level, and much less of his heir D90 .. Out of production, it is definitely a good buy for those who are approaching to photography or for those who want a second camera body without spending a fortune

Pros: Ergonomics, quality of the frame, body with internal motor for AF (supports fully automatic non-motorized type lenses 50mm f1, 8 AFD), dedicated battery grip 2 batteries, all the most useful commands are used with keys properly disposed without enter the menu, dual monitor and double ring,

Cons: From ISO 640 up losing much, only 3 fps. 1 point cross-type AF

Opinion: I use it as a second body still ... Works fine ... can not be considered as entry level solution has used the bodies pro and semi pro .. Lightweight and everything to do ... The AF is fast and accurate, only sometimes misses the shot using off-center points in low light! If you want to photograph iniare and found used in good condition you will definitely a good buy .. It differs from the D90 for a few things: a few less megapixels, 1fps less and the video feature!
