A step up from the D40

Date of Review:  Nov 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: The D80 is a camera for those ready to express, and apply, themselves.
Review: I've been using the D40 for about a year and a half now, and have been getting some great images with the 18-200mm VR lens. Six megapixels are plenty for the size of prints I make, but I wanted a bit more cropping flexibility and still retain a...

Cons
Same metering issues as D40

Great camera, excellent images

Date of Review:  Sep 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you don't having to fiddle with the exposure compensation once in a while, the D40 is an excellent first DSLR.
Review: I'm not got to babble a lot of BS...but I've been shooting since I was a punk kid with a Kodak Brownie. And in the end, the only thing that matters is results. The D40 gives them. For the price (and they're getting cheaper), it's an excellent...

A Great Mid Level SLR Camera

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: An excellent camera at the $1000 price point. Recommended to anyone who wants to get into digital SLR photography.
Review: I bought the Nikon D80 SLR camera to replace my 10 year old Agfa 1280. I chose Nikon because I could use the lenses from my Nikon F3 film camera in manual mode since they share the same F mount. Overall I'm very pleased with this camera. The first...

Great camera for novice and pro alike

Date of Review:  May 31, 2007
The Bottom Line: A good beginner camera for photographers or novices who aspire to be called such. High quality photos without too high of a price.
Review: I'll start of by stating that I am not a professional photographer, but more like a pro-hobbyist who enjoys photography. I am a father who wants to truly enjoy the "life" of the photos that I take. I am also a police detective who decided that the...

Best Bluetooth Headset - so far

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you want the party on the other line to hear you.. go with this headset. If you want to hear them better go with the Jabra.
Review: So... I'm comparing this to only a couple bluetooth devices I've tried... the Jabra BT250v and the Jabra BT150 (don't bother). Anyhow - I used the BT250v for a while and really liked it but it seemed the people on the other line sometimes asked me...

Excellent performance, excellent value

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Great camera, easy to use, all the functionality you want and more, good price.  Straddles the consumer/professional line perfectly.
Review: I purchased the D80 after careful research.  I wanted to take the plunge into the digital SLR arena after years of consideration and waiting for the prices to come down.  I had used a Canon AE-1 SLR for the longest time and though I loved the...

Like it? I love it!

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2007
Review: The D40 is one of the lowest priced SLRs on the market. Nikon didn't cut a lot of corners to keep the price down, either -- this is a very capable camera. It has a 6 Megapixel CCD, a large and sharp 2.5" LCD display, full manual controls, an...

Accessorize for less!

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: for less than $1,400 an amateur can feel like a pro ... what's more to say?
Review: I love my D80. I am a digital camera buff. Not a true photographer, but very picky about the camera's usability. I have used Nikon Coolpix 4500 (4.2M), Minolta Dimage A2 (8M), and a number of other olympus, samsung, sony point-n-click ones. This is...

Really nice photos in an easy to use machine.

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you are asking yourself if there is something better than the last point and shoot you bought, buy this camera and more photo albums!
Review: Sorry nikonians or nikonistas or whatever your name is, but if you are a professional photographer this review is not for you, and neither probably the camera

I always used point a shoot cameras, for my family's trips, parties and some...

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2006
