Why a Nikon D80 digital SLR camera?


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Can the Nikon D80 is the holy grail of entry-level SLR digital universe? "What I mean by that, D80 is a product, the bridge was finally able to close the gap of point and shoot cameras to professional SLR level without breaking the bank, and need a degree in computer science to big pictures. From my experience I would say that is not very likely.

Let's look at the first AF. With 11-point autofocus is good, but not necessarilyperfect. If it is true, most of the cameras autofocus in low light is failing, or pictures with very little contrast, is not so bad. The Nikon D80 seems to approach with its focus more to fight than other cameras. If the roll of a book habit, so no big problem. Otherwise, a strike against the D80.

Suggests that a $ 800 digital SLR produced soft images, is a relative statement a bit 'and should be takenContext. If your spending so much money on a digital camera, I had pretty high expectations in terms of image quality. Of course, thanks to advances in imaging software I can get a clear picture on my computer. But not without mention of some distortion, and there is extra time on my part.

File this next nit pick engage in blatant cash. additional charges to buy Nikon Capture NX software to $ 99. Have a nice package, especially for fans of wide-angle lens.While there are other software out there that offers the same functionality, may damage Nikon have released their new customers, combining a bit 'with the D80 SLR.

for some small details, but other possible deal breaker. It 'really up to you. How do you and where you want to take your technology are the decisive factors. Here are a few morsels to chew on:

– ISO can only be changed through the menu (too slow)

– Remove dust systemabsent (available in other cheaper SLR)

– D80-quality seals are not exactly industrial strength

– The new owners must be careful, questions of Dead Pixels

– Using SD memory cards denied consumption of existing CF card collection

– Small handle for large hands
