Nikon Reviews

Let's see, how can I say this diplomatically........ OK, here goes; this camera ..... The picture quality is poor, the sharpness of the images is poor. The flash on button sticks out so that when you put it in your case, or as in my wifes case, her purse, all it has to do is bump something and the flash gets turned on. It doesn't have a battery saver, so you may take one picture, put the camera away and when you get it out next time the batteries are dead. This has happened to us innumerable times in spite of our awareness of the problem. It's one of those things that gets you no matter how careful you are. I wouldn't buy one used even if it were dirt cheap. Other than that, it's a great camera.............

The camera works great! I would say it will work best for someone who wants a no fess type camera. I do however have one concern. When I purchased this camera, I saw no mention of it being a refurbished item. The one I received appears to be so, at least according to the stamp on the warranty card that changes the 1 year warranty to a 90 Day Warranty because it is refurbished. So check before you buy.

I bought this camera about a year ago and I love it. I didn't have much money so I bought this Nikon camera, but even though it is so inexpensive, it is an excellent camera. It never gives me those red-eyed pictures. My pictures are always really clear.So for those people out there who want a good, inexpensive, reliable camera , I would recommend this camera. That's just my little ol' opinion.:)

The Nikon N80 is a super camera. When I bought mine 6 months ago, the price for this package was more than $700 ... but the prices have come down significantly. Take advantage and buy this camera today!

This package offers two very high-quality Nikon lenses, to go with an excellent camera body. The camera itself offers you the ability to use manual mode, shutter-priority, or aperture-priority, or a truly stunning "program" mode. The program mode is amazing. It will let you keep moving objects in perfect focus, even if they are moving towards you, so that you get a perfect picture every time. It comes with a built-in speedlight, and offers so many features that Nikon has even developed a video to help you understand them all!

The two lenses in this package cover the complete range: 28 mm wide-angle... 50 mm normal ... 90 to 105 mm for portraits ... and up to 300 mm zoom. The low end is 28 mm because the N80's built-in speedlight is designed to provide flash coverage up to 28 mm ... anything smaller and the speedlight may not cover it.

As for the high-end, Quantaray has come out with a 2x teleconverter for Nikon autofocus cameras, that allows you to extend that 300 mm zoom all the way up to 600 mm ... perfect for nature and sports photography. The Quantaray teleconverter can be found at camera stores for around $100.00 or so ... making this a super deal, that you will love for years to come.

After I got my camera, and began using it ... my husband liked the results so much that he decided he would shelve his old Canon camera and buy an N80 too. We'd definitely recommend it!
