Beware. Condition is everything. Make sure you see a hi-res image taken with the camera and all the lenses. I bought a D80 with two sigma lenses. Both have damage to elements. I urgently wanted the camera for a holiday and didn't want to pay high street prices. The camera was also a bit battered. Still not a terrible price (£300 delivered) for what it is but no joke my IXUS 70 can take pictures that compete very well, though that is an outstanding camera. Buyer beware!
The Nikon D80 is getting a bit long in the tooth as digital SLRs go, having been superseded by the D90. That's not a reason to write it off though. Sure, the newer digital SLRs have more megapixels and Nikon have moved from CCD sensors to CMOS, but that doesn't alter the fact that the D80 does a great job at providing a bridge between the point and shoot and pro models. Pick one up and it fills the hand nicely. Not too heavy, not too light. Beautifully balanced. It can take any Nikon lens made after about 1979 (i.e. AI and beyond) the only catch being that any manual focus lenses won't link with the metering, but that gives you a huge choice. Moreover, Nikons have a flash trigger voltage of 250v. Now whilst the D80 lacks a pc sync socket, you can get hotshoe to pc sync convertors. This means that you can use a large number of external flash units. Why did I buy mine ? Well, I'm a Nikon fan and have a couple of vintage models (F and FT2) although I knew that the lenses would not fit any digital camera, I wanted to make maximum use of some of the other bits I had. I also wanted to be able to use any new lenses on my film cameras. The options open were the D80, the D90, the D200 or the D300. The piggy bank wouldn't stretch to a D300 and the D90 was a bit of a squeeze. Ironically, the video option on the D90 put me off. Why burden what is otherwise a decent SLR with a gimmick like that ? So it became a shootout between the D200 and D80. I liked the fact that the D80 uses SD cards, no pins to get bent through dodgy handling. The two cameras have the same resolution and the CCD chip is similar. To be honest I plumped for the D80 on the basis that a used one would probably have had less wear and tear. I managed to pick up a nice one with low shutter actuations (4K) for under £300. Do I regret it ? Not one bit. The D80 may have only 10Mp compared to the D90's 12Mp. It doesn't have the shiny new CMOS chip, but consider this. The difference in resolution is slight and for the majority of shots will make no impact. OK so the D90 can be pushed a bit further in ISO rating, but that is where you start to get image degradation. The killer punch is that D80 used prices are about £200 less than those of the D90. That's enough to buy you a nice fast lens or two.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I spent weeks looking through page after page of camera reviews as I had decided to upgrade from my bridge camera, the Lumix DMC-FZ50. The Lumix had everything I needed except the larger sensor, so it was time to move up. My budget was limited, but I wanted to make sure I pushed it to the limit and get the absolute best I could afford as this was gonna be a one off chance. I eventually narrowed it down to the Sony A200 or the A300, the Pentax K20D. No way was I gonna buy any camera that I couldn't first hold in my hands, so off to the shops to try them. First the Sony range, not impressed at all, VERY cheap plasticy feel to them, a definate no no there. I also tried the Canon 450D, again horrible cheap feeling body and the cheapest feeling kit lens ive come across, aweful! OK, so what about the Pentax K20D...could I find a stockist? Could I heck as like! AARRGH!!! I want it but no way im spending in excess of £500 on something ive not tried. The guy in the local Currys Digital suggested a small independant dealer elsewhere in the town, didnt even know they were there! Anyway, went there, he didnt have one BUT he showed me a Nikon D80...WOW! Beautiful camera, very comfortable in my hands..I was converted! His price was too expensive so I decided to look on ebay. I decided the best thing was to buy a body and buy a lens or two seperate. Word of warning...the Nikon kit lens is absolutely pathetic, so cheap and nasty I found it hard to believe Nikon could produce something so crappy!! I decided to go for a Sigma 18mm-55MM and a Nikon 75mm-300mm TheSigma is 200% better than Nikons kit lens, a gorgeous lens, plenty of weight in a solid build. Now, back to the D80...point and shoot on auto is 'ok', put it into programme mode and make some adjustments in the menus and the pictures begin to show some quality. Im still on a learning curve but I absolutely love the camera, menus are easy to follow, controls are all easy, battery life is excellent. I dont have VR lenses and camera shake is sometimes a problem, I find im using my monopod and tripod far more with this camera to ensure sharp images everytime. So, all in all im very pleased with my D80 (cost me £350 April 2009) I suggest you look for a body only and go for a Sigma lens unless you're prepared to shell out a few hundred on the higher spec Nikon lenses cos the kit lens is PANTS! Hopefully this will help you decide if the D80 is for you.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Well, my much loved Nikon D70 gave up the ghost - flash stopped and other little niggles got me on the search for a replacement. I have a cheap but functional Nikon kit ( some D lenses and older flash units ) and hate the idea of losing all that good glass to by an up to date entry level Nikon (D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D5000) which will not auto focus with my lenses ! Seems a bit mad to me, this quest by Nikon to either obsolete older lenses or force you to buy a very expensive semi-pro or pro DSLR (D300, D700, D7000 etc) I simply do not have that much money spare. So, choices down to another D70/D70s/D50 ( no real 'upgrade'), D100 (even older than D70 and D50),D200 (still holding price well, but cheaper ones generally battered to hell!), D80, or push the boat out a bit and try for a D90 cheap. A friend of mine uses a D90, and its a very impressive camera, but I just don't need (poor) video, or(poor) 'live view', and how much resolution do you really need ? So, a very nice condition D80 now rests in my camera bag (lowepro of course) and to be honest, its just perfect. The screen is much nicer than the older Nikons, and the feature set is ideal. It takes very good pictures, they look good on the screen, and they print well, with saturated colours and spot on exposure.It was less than £300, half the price of a D90 but much better than half the camera ! A highly recommended route from early noughties Nikons which will still talk to the glass bits on the front - which are after all surely worth more than any camera body ! Great !Vollständige Rezension lesen
I am 70 years old and this is my first proper digital camera....In the past I have always had nikon film cameras, and I wanted to try digital....so, I read magazines to get all the information regarding their test results....not needing video mode I decided that it would be better to go for a good quality older model like a second hand D200 or D80....thats when I went to eBay and found the D80 I bid on and won....when it arrived I was very pleased whith its condition, and after reading the manual that came with it I started taking some practice pictures. Everything was in perfect working order,I was very impressed...Overall it seems to be a great buy at agreat price. I have already bought a couple of lenses to go with it, and hope to have fun using it more from now on....Since buying the camera I have enjoyed buying bits and pieces to go with it on eBay....Vollständige Rezension lesen
