Nikon D80 Review
I have owned my Nikon D80 for about 2 weeks now, and love this camera. The autofocus is fast and accurate, and the camera is fairly easy to use. I do need to read the documentation and figure out all the features of the camera, but it has been easy to use so far. Even my 14 year old daughter has been able to effectively use the camera with little instruction.
My only beef with the camera so far, is that I expected a little higher picture quality. I probably have to find the right ways to fine tune the settings, but I can see a grainy quality to some of the photos, while others are quite sharp and distinct. I highly recommend this camera.
