As a keen photographer I am pleased to share my experiences of the Nikon D80.

It's an excellent camera with great handling and image quality. The only thing to look out for is the poor lense that comes in the 18-135 kit. It's not so good.

The best feature are:
# 10.2-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for large, photo-quality prints
# 2.5-inch LCD display; power-up time of approximately 0.2 seconds
# RAW and JPEG capture; burst mode allows for capture of three frames per second for up to 100 pictures
# Image optimization functions and in-camera image retouching

The D60 is almost as good for less money

Now the D90 is out, much better!
