Perfect camera even for those just beginning their photography journey...

Mar 26, 2008

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Excellent build, Easy to use, Ergnomic design, Top screen LCD, Large LCD rearscreen, Excellent image quality
Cons: Can't think of any!
Opinion:
I think enough has been said about this camera. I've had this for slightly over a year now. This was my first dSLR and it's been a great beginner camera as well.

Why did I choose this over the Canon 400D at that point in time? Both are great cameras, but the D80 just fit much better in my hand. I could never get a good grip on the 400D to be honest.

That reasoning might seem simple to some of you, but both cameras are great in their own right, and I don't think it would really have mattered that much to my photographs if I had picked either one.

Pros: great speed shots, good low light shooting, great stock lens
Cons: poor af for manual shooting
Opinion:
over-all it's a great camera but it still has some weaknesses like in different situations where the Canon EOS would have sharper image quality.

Auto mode is extremely good in most shooting conditions

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Solid feel, kit lens zoom range is far better than Sony Alpha's
Cons: The hand grip is still a little small for my hands
Opinion:
I bought the Sony Alpha D100 when it was first launched, its 10.2 megapixels CCD was the main consideration. I regretted that decision immediately when the Nikon D80 was announced only a short while later. I am now owner of both of these cameras! I passed the Sony Alpha to my teenage son and I am happy "firing" away with my D80 these days!
