Pros: Lightweight, quiet, CCD sensor

Cons: Inherent design weakness that can be prone to unrepairable failure

Opinion: It is the little sister of the D200 in all respects, it mounts the same 10 mpix CCD and adopts similar color profiles capable of churning out jpg/raw with very captivating colors. It is smaller and lighter than the D200 so it becomes easier to carry, and it is a little less professional as a manufacture, the most obvious difference being the electromechanical system of lifting the mirror and shutter release that derives from the D70 and is much quieter and softer than the D200. However, this is also its Achilles' heel, because its components are very prone to practically unrepairable failures due to the absence of service and spare parts, which make the camera unusable. Mine (faulty, 'ERR' signal, it took pictures but did not take pictures due to a classic failure of the contacts of the mirror/shutter motor assembly) I got it for free and in aesthetic condition very close to new. With tutorials and a lot of DIY I was able to repair it, and now it is a fixed and beloved part of my equipment. Its real strength is the black and white rendering which, unlike the D200, is well customizable, even simulating the use of filters (green, yellow, orange, red) as well as contrast/sharpness of the images. The result is very analog black and white which makes it an excellent camera for this purpose. Since I've owned it, it's a fixed pair with my Z7 (which works on color) while I use the D80 only in BN. For the moment, after the repair it works fine, and I have accumulated a thousand shots; Let's hope it lasts... because it would be a real shame not to be able to do these B/W anymore. A note: shooting B/W in RAW+JPG I get a finished jpg (B/W) and a RAW that actually also keeps all the color data so, however, I have all the possibilities of post production. On practical use: the shutter is silent and soft so it is less sensitive to blur (a feature common to the D70), its autofocus is as effective as it needs to be (it can also mount the old AF lenses -with screwdriver power take-off-), with AFS lenses it can be safely defined as fast even according to current standards. Noise at high ISO... It's there but now, thanks to modern post-production software, it's no longer a problem. The few mpix -compared to the current ones- are actually an advantage if you use it on portraits, because they are not able to reproduce the various defects of the skin and moreover its CCD performs very well on the complexion. To give her a grade: I would say that she deserves a good nine even today, thanks to her B/W.

Pros: Nikon, CCD Sensor, Incredible Colors, Infinite Lens Compatibility, Reliability

Cons: Few Mpx (obviously for the age), iso management

Opinion: Simply a Nikon with a capital N, the last of the series with CCD sensor, the colors are incredible even now, light meter that doesn't miss a beat, my dad bought it during a trip to Rome, it had just come out and chose her instead of the D70, now the "granny" I use it with a Z50 and if it weren't for the lack of video and limited mpx, I wouldn't notice the difference, I find it hard to believe that it's 17 years old, ergonomics as only Nikon can give to its cameras, battery that lasts a long time, what more could you ask for? Maybe a few mpx wouldn't hurt, 10 objectively are few, but given the age of the camera they are justified, even the iso hold is justified, you take photos with the light and if you want to shoot the moon or something in the dark, you take a tripod and go, eternal

Pros: Unattainable CCD, discreet, light files with colors comparable only to fuji

Cons: Nothing for me !!

Opinion: I started attending the digital reflex in 2008 with her, exchanging it on the same day with the d60 I had just taken, but after a few minutes it seemed little to me. Sold to go to d90 then to d7000, then d610, d750, d4 creating a scary outfit but the weight began to be felt together with the fear that in some secondary street someone would "notice" me too much, so I probed the z's and some Oly as well as Sigma (a world apart), a year ago in a month I sold everything to switch to fuj which "is" photography as I understand it ...... But D80 and D200 are still with me and although I already own a D80 (which I will convert to full spectrum) I just bought another one like new with 2 years of warranty and putting my eye back on it was a unique emotion. Finding the colors and sharpness that those 10mpx can give to those who know how to use it was fantastic, how to make a portrait without that harshness that makes my wife's beautiful face something unknown as the new sensors do, it is priceless because they are not soft images but real photos. If you try to take photos d80 and d200 will allow you to do it with that unique sensor and too expensive for economies of scale... but which, lo and behold, seems to be mounted on Abble.

Pros: Nikon's most successful CCD sensor. Economical, gives files with excellent colors

Cons: Removed the obvious considerations for Reflex dated, I would say nothing

Opinion: I bought it back a few days ago for the fourth time (if I'm not mistaken). I bought it new when it came out, in 2006, and maybe then I didn't appreciate it that much, also because in those years there was a continuous evolution. Rediscovered a decade later, I always liked it. It is said that the files are identical to those of the big sister D200, same 10 MP sensor, but I beg to differ. The Raw of the D200 is about 15 MP and that of the D80 about 8 MP, yet in my humble opinion the colors of the little one are more beautiful, brighter, more vivid. Indoors the BW is better than the D200, but outdoors the D80 takes flight and gives beautiful colors and I add perhaps even better defined even the D500. These are my personal impressions with home tests and comparisons, nothing scientific. Too bad that the expensive CCD sensor has been abandoned from the house for the cheaper CMOS, as is happening today between Mirrorless and Reflex.

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!
