Rating: - DX lenses 18-135mm focusing problems
I have used the D80 camera with the 18-135 lens kit that was a package when I bought it in Dec 2006. Not even 3 years and the lenses has malfunctioned. I was on vaction in Yellowstone and the camera does not focus anymore, so I ended up doing manual focusing. I knew it is the lens because I have 2 other G lenses from my old N65 and the camera focuses well when using the old lenses. Nikon only has a 1 year warranty on this. Otherwise, before the lenses broke it was a great camera. Nikon has very poor ... Read More

Nikon D80 so far deliver great pictures. only problem i see is with the lens. Nikkor 18-135 giving issues with Auto focus mode. but only advantage is lens has more warranty around 4 years. so no issues, you can keep on sending it for repair if you are patient enough

Though not a professional camera, it is still very advanced. The price has dropped significantly since the D90 came out. Though the D90 does have a few more options like video, I was looking for a camera. I had an old Nikon that used film and wanted a camera that I could use the old AF lenses with. The D60 & D5000 require that the lens have a motor in them, so I would not have been able to use my old lenses.
Though I have only used my camera a few times, I have already taken a few ... Read More

there have been so many reviews of this camera that I doubt there is much I can add, except this...I have been an amateur photographer for nearly thirty years and about 10 years ago switched to Nikon film cameras. I have an F80 and an F90X, but my favourite is my F90X with MB10. I love the robustness of it. In February I purchased a Nikon D80 and just after bought an MBD80 for it. I was initially worried that it would not be the equal of my tough F90, however, last weekend, on the Monday public holiday ... Read More
Rating: - Don't Buy This Camera at this price!
The D80 is a great camera, with which I have taken many pictures. The description here is accurate...BUT BUT BUT--this model is superseded by the D90 in SO many ways. And for some reason, right now on Amazon, a new D90 is selling for less than this D80. That's insane. Everything the D80 can do, the D90 can do at least as well, and many things better, and you get video, too. Indeed, the D80 is so old now, that in many ways, lower end Nikon DSLRs are superior (D40s, D60s, D5000s). The only person who ... Read More
