Customer Review: Nikon D80 over all quality
Summary: 5 Stars
At the present time this Nikon camera gives you the most bang for the buck. Good overall performance and acceptable image quality even under low light and a high 1600 ISO.Customer Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
It was between the D40 and the D90. The D80 won. It has all of the features a DSLR owner would want in their first camera. I did not want to be upgrading in a year if I liked digital photography. D40 can't do everything a DSLR lens wise should be able to do (great camera only a pro would run into this lens problem, 1k lens price and up type deal). The D90 on the other hand only offered marginal benefits over the outgoing D80 but cost a D40 more. The math presented me the D80, and after a month I love this camera and do not see myself replacing this camera for several years even when full frame FX digital reaches the more amateur line of Nikon cameras. Note to those considering the weight, this does weigh much more, a D40 will feel like a point and shoot around your neck after this has been hanging for a while. Customer Review: so far so good

This has been a true joy so far. I can not say enough about it, other than fantastic.Customer Review: A Mommy's Must Have Item!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is incredible. It is so easy to use. You don't have to be a professional to buy and use this camera. It is a mommy's must have. If you are wanting to take phenomenal photos to have for years to come, this is the camera to do it.
The camera turns on immidiatly without delay and snaps the photo immediatly without delay. So basically, what you see through the viewfinder is exactly what you get in the photo. This camera I purchased has a zoom of 18-135mm. What that means for me is that I can put the camera within 2 inches of my childs face and take a detailed picture of her eyes, or even something as small as a freckle. The detail is incredible. The instruction guide that is included with the camera walks you through step by step on how to set it up. So if you are at all intimidated the idea of using a bigger camera, DON"T BE! Memories are important, that is why we take pictures to begin with. This camera is perfect for anytime, day, night , sports events, super mega close ups etc. If you do any sort of scrapbooking, I highly encourage you to use photos taken by this camera. You will not be disappointed at the quality of the photo. You may use the camera like an amateur, but the photos look professional. You can't go wrong, because when you look through the viewfinder, there are markings to help you center the photo with ease. The clarity is amazing. I did a side by side comparison with my old camera to this one and this camera picked up things i could barely see with the naked eye. My family and friends are pleasantly suprised at the quality and clarity of the photos they have seen so far. I love this camera. Its an SLR with digital technology. Basically, that means, good old fashioned camera with the capability of using automatic or manual modes, but get the benefits of getting the digital clarity and not having to develope rolls of film because it saves to an SD memory card. This camera is a keeper, you will get your moneys worth on this camera because it will last you a lifetime to come.
Customer Review: Nikon D80 Kit
Summary: 4 Stars
For digital camera users wanting to upgrade from point and click to a relatively sophisticated SLR, the D80 makes the most sense. At about 2/3 the price of the heavily advertised D90, the D80 delivers almost all the same features, except the built-in video capability. The user interface is pretty complex, but this is a complex piece of technology. Two negatives are the sheer size of the beast with the big zoom lens, and the unnecessary image editing capability of the camera. Who edits in camera? That's what Photoshop is for.
