Digital Camera Fiend - A Camera Review

Every wonder what would happen if the Nikon’s D50 and D200 had a love child? This is the camera you’d get. The Nikon D80, released in mid-2006, builds upon the framework of the D50 while borrowing some of the upgraded features from the D200.

The D80 is the perfect camera for the advancing photographer who wants more than the entry-level D50 or D70 but is not ready for the semi-professional D200.

At 10.2 megapixels, the Nikon D80 has the same number of MPs as the D200, but weighs less than any of its predecessors. It retails for around $900.
