I am not a fan of the lenses that come bundled with the Nikon D80 as I've read they are not that great quality wise so I went with the stand-alone camera body and added a Tamron 17-55mm telephoto lens as well as a Nikon 50mm 1.8/f primary lens. I'm very glad I did so as they produce great shots!

I love to travel, go to sporting events, and spend time with family and friends. Too many times, I was disappointed with the photos I took with low quality point and click digital cameras. The Nikon D80 dSLR is the perfect camera for the amateur who wants to step up their game. It's easy to use, but has all the advanced settings and options you will ever need.
A few of the features that attracted me to the camera were:
- 10.2 Megapixels, which yields very high resolution images. Great for this price range.
- 2.5 inch LCD monitor. This allows for quick assessment of picture quality. The zoom features...

Nikon D80 is the best camera I ever had. You can catch a great picture of a flying eagle, approcing him so much as you think you can touch him with your hand. You can also catch an ant carrying a piece of something, several times bigger than her...and locking at the picture you think that's a monster from a horror movie. There are many ways to describe the great performence of this camera...You will see the difference when you'll try it...and you'll never regret.

I absolutely love my Nikon D80. It is simple to adapt to if you are already adept at using SLR cameras. The automatic settings work quite well for all different types of photography. I bought my D80 over 2 years ago, but I would still recommend it today. I know there are newer versions - sure they are just as good. If you are a pro - there are a lot of manual features to use.
