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.
