Pros: CCD sensor, works with all Nikon AF-D lenses that require an internal motor of the camera, light and small, color, essential and reliable

Cons: it doesn't have the complicated menu of the latest digital

Opinion: Taken for fun, it made me have a lot of fun, I used it several times together with the Nikon D200 for portraits and street, it did not disappoint me. Too bad that the production of sensors has changed and they have abandoned CCDs. The body is not bulky and with a small and discreet lens you can take beautiful photos. It was a pleasure to use it. Too bad to have to part with it. Thank you Nikon

Pros: CCD sensor colors, internal AF motor (which maintains AF with G and D lenses), weight of the camera body, used price.

Cons: 10.2 megapixels, 1600 ISO max, buttons on the back of the camera body a little small.

Opinion: With little expense and the use of a myriad of AF lenses, you can do "slow" photography: to be used on sunny days for portrait and landscape, where the CCD sensor gives its best. Sports photography or in poor light conditions should be excluded. Those who own it should keep it, those who find it used should think about it.

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.
