Nikon D80 (with 18-135mm lens) price range: $1,949.95
- Reviewed by: Philip Ryan

The good: Excellent color rendition and noise levels; large feature set; highly customizable; lightning-fast performance.
The bad: Full raw editor costs extra; flash sync of 1/200 second.
The bottom line: Nikon scores big with the D80, its new 10-megapixel, sub-$1,000 dSLR.
The only downside to this slight shift in focus, is a slower top shutter speed--the D80 tops out at 1/4,000 second instead of 1/8,000 second--and a slower flash-sync speed of 1/200 second instead of the 1/500 second that the D70s offers, which was significantly faster than its competitors' in the first place. This may irk sports shooters, who may appreciate the extremely fast shutter of the D70s, or other action shooters, who like to freeze movement with a fast burst of flash, but the majority of photographers won't notice the difference. But, given that more advanced enthusiasts now have the Nikon D200 to quench their needs--a D200 equivalent didn't exist when the first D70 came out--the advances in almost all other areas of this camera should outweigh these couple of changes.
The camera body is technically slightly smaller in all dimensions compared to those of the D70s, but current owners will find the design very similar. Most of the buttons are the same and in the same places, and there are dedicated buttons for many commonly used functions. For example, a cluster of buttons next to the shutter let you change metering mode, exposure compensation, drive mode, and AF mode. Meanwhile, the buttons to the left of the 2.5-inch, 230,000-pixel LCD screen let you change white balance, ISO, and image size and quality settings without diving into menus. About the only function without its own dedicated control is AF zone selection, though the camera's programmable function button can be programmed to cover that if you so choose. The default for this button is to display the current ISO setting.
Three dials adorn the camera body. The mode dial lets you choose between program, aperture- or shutter-priority, full manual, full auto, or any of six preset exposure scene modes. The other two dials, located on the front and back of the grip, let you change aperture and shutter speed. Together, they make full manual shooting quick and easy.
Nikon's menu system is straightforward and, for the most part, intuitive. An option in the setup menu lets you hide some of the menu items by either selecting Nikon's preshortened Simple menu, which displays only what Nikon thinks are the most commonly changed menu items, or My Menu, which lets you choose which items the camera displays in each of the playback, shooting, custom setting, and retouch menus. Never heard of the retouch menu? That's because it's new.
The retouch menu lets you edit your photos in camera. Choices include resize, crop, red-eye reduction, filter effects, or monochrome. The coolest is probably the overlay option. It works only with raw images, but it lets you superimpose one image on top of another and even lets you choose the opacity, so the pictures can blend more smoothly. It won't replace Photoshop, but for simple overlays, it's pretty fun. Plus, since all the retouch menu functions save a new version of your image, you can always go back to the original later, and, in the case of overlays, you can lay more photos on top of already mashed-together images.
Other fun options include creating your own tone curves using the included Camera Control Pro software, as well as adjustable hue control, and a black-and-white mode with options for virtual yellow, orange, red, or green filters. A multiple exposure mode lets you shoot as many as three frames, which are then combined into one image by the camera. Of course, like most dSLRs, the D80 includes selectable white balance, as well as the usual metering and autofocus options. The image-processing and AF system are the same ones that come in the D200, while the 3D Color Matrix Metering II included here is the same as the one in the D50.
Like the D70 and the D70s, the D80 includes Commander Mode, which lets you control compatible Nikon Speedlights without the need for a separate wireless trigger, such as Canon's ST-E2 Speedlight Transmitter, which must be purchased separately to allow you the same level of control from Canon cameras and flashes. Unlike the D70s, which could only control one group of Speedlights on one channel, the D80 can control as many as three groups on any of the four channels Nikon offers.
In the "keeping up with the Joneses" department, Nikon has included SD-HC support, so you'll be able to use SD cards with capacities larger than 2GB. Also, Nikon will offer an optional vertical grip for the D80 called the MB-D80 which will hold up to one or two EN-EL3e rechargeable lithium-ion batteries or as many as six AA batteries. That means you won't be stuck buying a third-party grip as were so many D70 and D70s users. Without the grip, the D80 runs on one EN-EL3e battery.
Meanwhile, in the "not keeping up with the Joneses" department, Nikon continues to charge extra for its Capture NX software. PictureProject software is included for free, and will do rudimentary raw conversion, but if you want full raw control you'll have to shell out the extra cash for Capture NX. To their credit, Capture NX does include more image-editing functionality than that of the free software included with other manufacturers' dSLRs, but most buyers expect full raw conversion to be included with the camera.
Because of some nasty problems with third-party batteries in recent years, the camera will accept only Nikon's official EN-EL3e batteries. However, the company's new batteries let you see more detailed info. If you look under battery info in the setup menu, you can see remaining battery life as a percentage, as well as how many pictures have been shot since the last charge, and a loose gauge of how many times the battery has been recharged. It would've been nice to see average minutes or pictures remaining, as Sony's InfoLithium batteries provide, but we're not complaining about this extra info from Nikon, and the charge meter is a well-conceived idea.
Performance was among the fastest we've seen so far. In our lab, the D80 took 0.1 second to power up and capture its first image. Subsequent shots took 0.3 second without flash and 1 second with the flash turned on. Raw shots were just as fast, with a shot-to-shot time of 0.3 second. In our lab's high-contrast test, the shutter lag measured 0.45 second, slowing to 0.9 second in the low-contrast test. Continuous shooting yielded nine fine-quality 10.2-megapixel JPEGs in 2.7 seconds, for an average of 3.33fps and turned in about the same performance on basic-quality 2.5-megapixel JPEGs, capturing 99 images in 33.3 seconds for an average of 2.97fps.
The built-in flash has a Guide number of 13 at ISO 100, up from the D70s's Guide number of 11 at ISO 100. The extra power was noticeable in our lab test shots. Plus, the D80 did an excellent job of balancing the camera's fill flash with our scene's incidental lighting. In the field, we also noticed that fill flash from the D80 was consistently even.
Image quality from the Nikon D80 is quite impressive. Colors were accurate and neutral and the camera's meter did an excellent job of reading the scene and providing an accurate exposure. At times, mostly in extreme cases when the scene was dominated by darkness, the Matrix metering tended to preserve detail in the shadows at the expense of highlights, though typically, this is what one would've intended in that situation. Plus, switching to selectable zone metering or using the camera's massive plus or minus 5EV exposure compensation should help in those situations.
The 18mm-to-135mm, f/3.5-to-f/5.6 kit lens, which pushes the suggested price well above $1,000, performed well. We saw almost no colored fringing and were impressed with the lens's sharpness given its affordable price. Despite its plastic lens-mount, it feels more solid than many of the kit lenses on the market. Our only complaint was a slight amount of vignetting noticeable at the wide end of the zoom range.
Images from the D80 showed very little noise in our tests. At ISO 100, ISO 200, and ISO 400 noise was practically nonexistent, with only an extremely fine grain beginning to become apparent at ISO 400. Even at ISO 800, noise was a little more noticeable but still no more than a fine grain. At ISO 1,600, noise became noticeable but lacked the many off-color speckles that characterize many cameras' noise profile, and was similar to what we've come to expect at ISO 800 on some other dSLRs. At ISO 3,200--Nikon calls it H1.0--noise was obvious, resembling a coating of fine, snowy grain. A fair amount of detail was obscured by the grain but plenty still remained, and prints as large as letter size--and possibly even larger--should be acceptable, though far from perfect.
Buying an SLR is a complex process, which should include not only the camera body, but also a given manufacturer's--and third parties'--complement of lenses and accessories. That's exactly why manufacturers such as Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, and KonicaMinolta have built up such a large following over the years. Now that Sony has bought KonicaMinolta's know-how and released the DSLR-A100, which is compatible with past KonicaMinolta lenses and accessories, the consumer electronics giant has gained entrée into this market in a meaningful and substantial way. The same can be said for Samsung and Panasonic and their respective licensing of Pentax's and Olympus's technology. That means that big players, such as Nikon, have to continue to refine their technology if they want to remain competitive.
With the D80, Nikon has proven that it is very much still pushing ahead strongly. With 10.2 megapixels, lightning-fast performance, high-quality images with very low noise, and a heaping pile of convenience features, Nikon's D80 will not disappoint. We're just eager to see how it stacks up to Canon's Rebel XTi, which is due to hit stores just weeks from now. But, if you already own some Nikon lenses and have been waiting for an affordable 10.2-megapixel dSLR, this one is a sure winner.

Best Camera I've ever owned by far...
by Derrickb1974 on January 29, 2007
Pros: Versatility, Easy to Use, Fantastic Image Quality, plus tons of other features not mentioned

Summary: I was looking at this camera for several months debating to buy this or a Canon EOS. I have owned previous Canon camera products and thought I would only ever own a Canon camera. Once I tried out the Nikon D80 in my local camera store I knew then I was hooked. I tried the Nikon D40 (Too small for me) and a comparable Canon EOS. The D80 has the perfect balance and is ergonomically perfect in my opinion. Sure it is slightly larger and heavier than the EOS, but it feels the most solid. All the buttons are well thought out. I purchased the Nikkor 18-135mm which is actually a 18-144mm when tested and Nikon could have easily sold this lens as a 18-145mm if they wanted to but they didn't. This is a very nice, but rare situation where the lens actually has more zoom than listed. I have absolutely no complaints about this kit lens. I use a 67m screw-on circular polarized filter with the 18-135mm and it works fantastic with it. The 18-135mm lens has actually been indicated to be sharper than the 18-200mm VR which is about 2x-3x more expensive, but the VR is a very nice feature to have. I also recommend the 70-300mm also for more zoom power. With the 18-135mm, any distortion of any kind if any is so minimum it is hard to see, at least with my lens anyway. I highly recommend this camera and lens to start with. The 18-55mm just isn't strong enough to satisfy my zoom needs for everyday shooting, but the 18-135mm covers it plus a little extra as a everyday lens.
This IS the BEST camera I've ever owned hands down.15 out of 15 users found this user opinion helpful.

a). Excellent picture quality;
b). Can focus quickly in almost any light situation (and I love the instant startup);
c). Buttons and menu access are always in the places they should be (except the AE-L/AF-L button I wish it was in somewhere my left hand can easily access to);
d). The camera (w/ the 18-135mm lens) is heavy, but you can hold it very omfortably.
e). Long lasting rechargeable battery. Though I don?t believe it will give you 2,700 shots per charge. But, unless you are a professional photographer, I doubt you ever need a backup battery for this camera.
The Bad:
a). Few accessories available for this camera; also, I wish I can find a better case than the Nikon CD-D80 Semi-Soft Case.
b). The user manual and included software (PictureProject) are pretty basic. I wish Nikon provides a more in depth reference book and a better piece of software.
I ran through close to a dozen of digital cameras from Epson, Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Toshiba, and Kodak etc. since they were introduced. It looks like D80 will be the one I am going to keep for a while.10 out of 10 users found this user opinion helpful.

Spend just a little extra for the best on the shelf.
by firerader on December 23, 2006

Summary: I choose this camera and lens package as a single lens set up and it's perfect for that application. The numerous features are easy to find and just as easy to use and really make you feel like a pro. The lens comes with a sun shade which looks really cool but you have to remember to remove it when using the flash or it casts a shadow. I just can't believe I own this camera. I have used the Canon xti and it?s just not up to this camera. If you can muster the money you will know where it went when you use this camera. I never rate anything a 10 because nothing is perfect to me but god this camera and lens package is really close.

Nikon Quality Build & Image Capture
by cdr_computers on October 1, 2006
Pros: Superb Construction & Excellent Resolution
Cons: Good RAW Support Requires Nikon Capture NX

Summary: Back on August 21, 2006, I purchased the Nikon D50 18-55mm DX Lens Kit and was not dissatisfied at all. I purchased the 55-200mm DX lens to complement the 18-55mm DX lens to give a wider range of focal length. Shortly after I purchased the Nikon D50, the Nikon D80 was announced. Based on the quality of pictures I was getting from the Nikon D50, I thought I would splurge and purchase the Nikon D80 even though I really did not need it. I purchased the Nikon D80 from Best Buy last Thursday, and I must say that I am more than satisfied with the construction and image quality of the camera. The start-up time is so quick that it is not noticeable at all, and the continuous shot mode is fabulous. The larger viewfinder on the Nikon D80, compared to the Nikon D50, is a substantial upgrade and makes framing and composing shots a less difficult task under certain conditions (both indoor and outdoor). The pictures that I have taken were recorded in the RAW+JPEG Fine format so that I would be able to compare the two sets of images. The JPEG images were very clean with little, or no, artifacts when taking pictures in outdoor environments, but I did notice some artifacts when taking pictures indoors in low-light instances. Regardless of this minor issue, the pictures were easily cleaned up using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 and came out pristine. The controls on the unit are easily accessible, and the camera is very similar in use to the Nikon D50, so the learning curve was not steep at all. Using the full manual controls was a snap, and the bracketing feature is excellent. In short, the Nikon D80 is an excellent digital SLR and should be considered above the Canon Rebel XTi, Sony Alpha, and others in the class. As I summarized in a short phrase regarding ?cons?, the only pitfall is the limited availability of RAW support from non-Nikon software vendors. But, as most of you already know, it will take such vendors no time at all to provide a nice plug-in that will be more than adequate to provide full RAW (NEF) support for the Nikon D80. In closing, although the RAW support is limited from other vendors, Nikon is providing a 30-day trial of Capture NX (full version) which will process the Nikon D80 RAW (NEF) files, so it?s really not an issue. The bottom line here is that anyone purchasing this unit will not be dissatisfied in the least!

It's A Class Of It's Own

Summary: I was on a pro-sumer (Sony Cybershot F-828) before I switched over to a DSLR. And I am glad the D80 was first very own DSLR camera, as it has never failed me after using it for several days. Taking a superb resolution of 10Mpixel, is really a plus point for a Graphic Designer like me.
To be able to alter my colours in the camera itself, it's ability to take multiple shots, just like film! (I mean, this is something some people could only dream about), also not fogetting super imposing in the camera. What more could I ask for? These are superb features as it saves me time on the computer.
The colours are good, though I think a lower ISO than 100 could have done good, as it will increase colour saturation and details.
Never the less, this is a superb product and I have no regrets purchasing it. I will probably use it for a number of good years to come. Thank you Nikon.5 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

Amazing pictures, mostly quality product

Summary: I just picked mine up today after work. First impression is that this is a very high quality camera, especially for a semi-pro model. This camera has 15 buttons plus shutter release, 2 scroll knobs, a mode select knob, a directional pad, and a focus lock switch. For having all this stuff packed in it is quite intuitive to use. If you know much about cameras you'll pick it up in no time flat. If you don't know anything but want to learn, you can use the auto mode and use it as an amazing point and shoot camera while using the different priority modes to try out the different manual features one at a time.
Ergonomically this camera fits my hands perfectly. It's fairly heavy so you can hold it steady. But it's not so bad that you'll tire quickly. The lense seems to be much nicer than that of the Canon rebel xti which I picked up 4 days ago. On this the focus ring seems much sturdier and has a better feel. The lcd looks amazing. Has a picture that's as nice as that of my HD tv. I also like that it comes with a plastic snap-on screen protector which ironically enough has a plastic protector on it when you take it out of the box.
I haven't been able to test battery life yet, but I played around with it for an hour or so and the indicator hadn't gone down at all. My only real complaint so far is that battery cover. You have to use a fingernail to open it, and it can be tough. Seems like if you try to hard you could break it off. I also haven't tried the included software yet, but once I do I may update this.
I've read a lot of reviews comparing the D80 to the canon rebel xti. I don't think they're in the same class. The canon is a really nice amateur camera that takes great pictures and has almost all the features this camera has. It's also quite a bit cheaper. But this is more of a semi-pro model. It just looks and feels better as well. If you can afford it, get it and I don't think you'll be disappointed.4 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: this being my first DSLR i didnt really know what to expect. my previous camera was a fujifilm S7000 which i loved with all my heart. I have owned the d80 for a week and have taken over 10000 photos with it because of my free holiday break, and every single picture has come out with great quality. along with taking pictures of my hometown, washington dc, i also take photos of my friends skateboarding and such. i have found the d80's burst mode very useful shooting at around 3fps, there cameras with better rates, but the length of the burst mode is very nice. I only have one lens, the 18-135mm and it is a very nice lens to have, considering my wide variety of uses.

Just right!

Cons: None so far

Summary: I've always been a "Nikon guy". I've owned Nikon SLR's, back as far as the F3, up to the F4 (with a few others in there, just because they were Nikon's). A few years ago, I essentially sold everything I had (long story, not necessary). Since then, I've been considering going "digital", but I've waited, as the newest thing dwarfs the previous newest thing, seemingly weekly.
I almost purchased the original Canon Rebel Eos 300 when it came out as it really seemed like that was the start of a really good quality digital SLR. I didn't.
Long story short (too late!!), I did finally purchase the Canon Rebel XTi a couple of weeks ago. I used it to shoot a variety of shots, from portraits to landscapes. I was impressed with the camera, for sure. Here was the problem: it wasn't a Nikon. It never really felt right in my hands. That wasn't all, but the bottom line was that the features etc. of that camera just didn't cut it for me.
Anyway, I took it back and purchased the D80. I got the kit lens and am awaiting the longer 70-300VR lens, which are currently not available.
I also purchased the MB-D80 Vertical grip, which I'm so incredibly glad Nikon is finally offering for their pro-sumer SLR's. Previously, with the D70, one had to purchase an aftermarket grip to get the features, and those grips were never as good as if they were manufactured by Nikon. The grip is perfect. If you get the camera, spend the couple of bucks and get the grip (you can also add a second battery in the grip which should give me hours of shooting)
I haven't had enough time to shoot the camera as of yet, as I literally just picked it up a few days ago, but every review of the quality of the camera is amazing. I'm not worried about quality to be honest.
From a Nikon guy's perspective, the camera feels incredible. While the Canon is a nice camera, it's small in your hands. Not with the D80, it's significantly bigger (in a good way). Every control is just where you'd expect every control to be. The viewfinder is also wonderful.
I can't wait to get out and shoot this incredible piece of equipment. As soon as it stops raining, that will happen.
Get this, you won't be disappointed, you'll be freakin' thrilled!3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Ok, when you watch a Nikon D80 fall out of a van going 110 km/h, your heart sinks and you turn white as a ghost. When all the guys at the camera shop hear the story and fear the worst, you sink into depression. When they stick a battery in the camera, turn it ON, take some PICTURES, confirm that AUTOFOCUS works and so does your lens, everyone's jaw drops. Buy this camera. Why? Because it fell out of a van going 110 km/h and still works. That's why.
