Likes

- Good control interface - Excellent auto focus - Controls Nikon flashes wirelessly - Good image quality - Handles noise well at high ISOs (improvement over D200) - Solid construction

Dislikes

- Slow burst mode - Some colors very oversaturated - Weak in-camera sharpening doesn’t maximize resolution - Color reproduction not as accurate as we would have liked - Better dust seals - SD cards not compatible with other Nikon DSLRs

   

The 10-megapixel Nikon D80 is a success in a conservative way. Nikon didn’t add the dust reduction system or stabilization that many competitors are introducing this year. Still, it has most of what the D200 has for hundreds of dollars less, and adds features to woo snapshooters. It’s a solid DSLR that’s easy to use and a strong performer. It should appeal to casual shooters who aren’t price-sensitive, and some professionals who are.
