This was a good camera but, time marches on. Waiting for a newer model by any camera maker may be a better move at this point. It might have better features with the same price or lower.
Regardless, be sure to check out equivalent models by all the camera makers. Canon, Sony, and even Nikon have come out with newer models.
Before any Nikon fanatics yell at me, I like Nikon just as much as any other brand and was the camera brand I first owned and owned for many years and still own.
 Nikon D80 Digital SLR December 1, 2008

This camera is excellent. It's easy to use and allows you to do some fairly impressive and more advanced things in photography. I upgraded to this camera and the clarity in each picture is startling. I can't wait to enlarge my photos to poster size. As you might imagine, I highly recommend this camera to most anyone who wants to do more that point and click even though you can do that quite well with this camera.

After being one of the last die-hard darkroom photographers in my area, I finally took the plunge and went digital. I upgraded from a Nikon 6006 35mm, to the D80. Features are similar to my older Nikon so the learning curve was not too difficult. I also have a large collection of AF lenses that all work perfect with the D80. Picture quality far surpasses that of the 6006 (although it is hard to compare Digital vs. Film). All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase, and would recommend the D80 to anyone.
At last I have pictures I can really say are outstanding. December 1, 2008

I recently decided to replace my Nikon D70. After a long time researching my options I set my sights on the the D80. My reasons were simple. Money (the D80 is no longer made and I got a great deal on a body only), mega pixels, and the brand. I have two extremely good Nikon lenses so changing to another brand was out of the question. I have to admit I never did like the D70 camera. It took substandard photos. The colors were never clean and vibrant, and detail was lacking. After looking at test photos on dpreview.com I knew replacing the d70 with a newer generation was the answer. When I got my new Nikon D80, I made a few tests. I took photos of the same subjects with the same lens and camera settings. What a difference. The D80's colors were smooth and bright. The shadows dark without a muddy look. Detail of course was better because of the extra 4 mps. If you have a D70 and not satisfied with your photos, try stepping up to a newer camera---you'll see a difference.

This is not a review of the camera, but of a vendor. On Time Digital is a horrible company to deal with. They put one price on their web page and tell you another when you call to place the order. The say that they have a USA body Nikon D80 for 330 dollars. It would be nice if they would honor the price they advertise. I guess it is true, there is no honor among thieves. I would/will stay away from this company. The camera, I will still try to purchase elsewhere.
