Released in August 2006, the D80 packs a lot of Nikon’s power into a body that’s ideal for the consumer.
Like the D200, it features a 10.2-megapixel sensor and Nikon’s 3D Color Matrix Metering II technology. It uses an 11-area auto focus (same as the D2Xs), where each point can be used individually or as a wide-frame operation for focus selection. For shooters who would rather let the camera set up a shot, the D80 has seven automated settings, including portrait, sports, night portrait and landscape. With a fast 0.18-second startup time and an 80-millisecond lag time for quick image capture, it can record images at up to three frames per second. An optional MB-D80 battery pack adds to shooting time, allowing the system to run on one or two of the EN-EL3e rechargeable ion batteries or six AA batteries. For those who’ve already invested in lighting, rest assured: the D80 is compatible with all Nikon Creative Lighting Speedlights.
Retail price: $599
