Digital Camera Review

3.8 The Nikon D80 is a 10.2-megapixel DSLR for just under $1,000. It's a successor to the 6.1-megapixel D70s, Nikon's wildly popular consumer model. It’s also competition for the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, the Sony alpha A100, the Olympus EVOLT E-500 and the Pentax K10D. In other words, it’s in a crowded field, populated mainly with cameras that have advanced features like dust reduction and image stabilization. The D80 lacks both, yet costs more than its cohorts. It does offer the same resolution and auto focus system as the step-up Nikon D200, but adds easier to use functions such as 7 scene modes, post processing effects, and a slot for SD media.
