Lovin' it2009-01-08
Great camera and lens. Took it on a trip to Chile -- lots of shots of mountains, architecture and little kids. The photos look great, the camera was easy to use without any previous instruction, and a 2MB card and one battery lasted me almost the entire 2.5 week trip (got about 800 photos on one card and then switched it out; battery is still good to go).
NIKON D80 - BEST PURCHASE I'VE MADE!!2009-01-08
I am really am enjoying my new camera! It is the best equipment i have taken photos with. It is easy to use- just enough camera to use as an amateur, but alot more for taking it to the next level! I am very pleased with my purchase. Amazon was fast, efficient, and bought with much confidence!
thanks.
Great Camera, easy enough for novices2009-01-07
Product came as advertised and in just a couple days. You can use it immediately out of the box without reading the guide, if needed (however, would suggest reviewing the operating guide) especially if you know something about photography. Picture quality is excellent. We replaced an Olympus 400 point and shoot. Reason for replacing, picture quality and speed of shooting, with the Olympus would have to wait a bit between shooting pictures, sometime missing the photo you wanted to take, not the case with this camera. Lots of options with the D80, more than we would probably ever use or need. However, we love the camera. Suggestion with one 4G smart media card on normal setting can shoot over 1000 pictures on one card, ond the fine setting you get about 500 on one card.

Now trying to find a good photo software package that is easy to use and not a huge computer hog. Currently have Photoshop Elements 6.0, but seems to be a computer hog and a large learning curve. Trying to find something different. Any suggestions?

Have only had the camera for a couple months so still learning all the options. Would put us in the category of novice or just above the novice in photography.
User-friendly at the basic level2008-12-31
The camera comes with a Quick-Start guide that makes it incredibly user friendly for the basics. For the many, many advanced features, though, the user manual is a must!

This camera takes beautifully clear pictures and does a great job with anti-redeye. It's weighted nicely and is useable one-handed, if necessary. Only drawback we've found, thus far, is that it doesn't shoot video.
I love this camera!2008-12-25
This is a wonderful camera. I am not a professional photographer, but have been taking wildlife and sports photographs since the early '70s (Nikon F2). I still have it...

The D80 is my first foray into digital SLRs (I first bought a Nikon Coolpix to "test the waters" and loved it). I must admit, I put an awful lot of thought into this purchase. Money is, of course, a major consideration. I really want the D300, but this is out of my price range right now. I vacillated between the D80 and the D90, but finally decided that the video feature (which I would NEVER use, the Live View (which I would not use either)and the added 2MP were not worth the additional cost-I would rather transfer that amount of money to lenses. As a result, I went with the D80 body and two lenses-an 18-55mm and a 70-300 VR zoom lenses. All of my photography is handheld because I rarely have time to set up a tripod. I shoot in a completely manual or aperature priority mode and I really, really like the way the D80 responds and the photographs I get. Not least of all, I especially like the way I can change the ISO from photograph to photograph, depending on the range and visual conditions. And finally, I have some very fast Nikon AF lenses that I think will work in the manual mode.

All in all, I am exceptionally pleased with this camera and would recommend it to anyone.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
The types of camcorders
If you are planning on purchasing a camcorder, you should be familiar with the types of camcorders and how they can benefit your specific needs. The formats of video cameras include, VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8, Mini Digital Video (Mini DV), DVD and Digital 8. Each format has its pros and cons VHS The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution, VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video camera used because their technology is now outdated. VHS-C The VHS-C format offer 240 lines of resolution, just like VHS. These analog camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use the same technology. The video tapes u ...
