Lovin' it (Jack Cheng, West Roxbury, MA United States, 2009-01-08)

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!! (L. A. Hodge, 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.

This is a great camera (schlooble, USA, 2009-01-07)

I love my D80. This is a great camera and right now is a great time to buy one since the D90s are out. My only problem with the camera is that I wish it had better high ISO capabilities. Other than that I really like this camera and the wireless triggering of speed lights is a major plus for me. Sorry this isn't a very good review, but that's what [...] is for.

Great Camera, easy enough for novices (M. Meyer, Chicago, IL USA, 2009-01-07)

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 level (J. Eyre, Southeastern PA, 2008-12-31)

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.
