  One great camera

PROS: Price, ease in usage for a DSLR beginner (including reversable control wheels), incredible images, multiple remotes, fast multiple exposures, scores of accessories, extra display protection standard

CONS: The top control buttons are way too small for my fingers. No macro without a special lens.

  Great Camera! Excellent for pro users or amateurs!

PROS: Amazing Picture Quality and Amazing Array of Photo Options

CONS: Good Nikon Nikkor lenses are very hard to get, they are always back-ordered!!

  Best Camera I've ever owned by far...

PROS: Versatility, Easy to Use, Fantastic Image Quality, plus tons of other features not mentioned

CONS: Still trying to find one. Simply a great camera

  A poor man's D200 minus a few features, but an awesome camera it is!

PROS: 10.2MP, 11 AF zones, big LCD, control panel has backlight, dual dial setup

CONS: The D80 tends to overexpose highlights. It underexposes when built-in flash is used

  if you were shooting in auto inside that is what happened to me

PROS: Outside Pics in Auto, P, and scenes great, camera felt great in hand, easy to work loved it until printed pics

CONS: inside underexposed, Nikon told me that if inside color is off or dark you need to shot in Prog. mode

  I made the right decision, buying the D80!

PROS: I love this camera! Unbelievable features. Get the 18mm-135mm f/3.5, when you purchase the D80. With a price tag, that will some extra money for lens & other parts. Nikon went all out in making the D80, it is a real masterpiece. In my opinion, the D80 is better than all but one, of Nikon's pricier SLR; and that camera cost around 5 grand.

CONS: None.

OVERALL SCORE:9/10

  User friendliness helped me jump ship

PROS: rugged design; intuitive interface; display easy to interpret; quick charging battery

CONS: shooting mode not available in viewfinder; 3 f/s too slow for seriuos action; current ISO setting (other than "auto ISO") not displayed in view finder

  Love it!!!

PROS: Easy to use, well built, ability to produce excelent photos, Fast, great LCD display, Great view finder, a lot of manual control, baby D200, compact design , & LCD cover. Did I miss something?

CONS: No physical dust cleaning system!!! Why doesn't come with Capture NX?

  Outstanding. This camera is almost perfect...it's that good!

PROS: Simple enough for point and shoot. However, you can turn the dial and get 100% creative with no limits! The HDSD is NOT a Con...why? I've bent pins using CF cards, you won't with this.

CONS: I wish it was more weatherized for rain. Nikon software is poor. Nikon should give us the free remote that's $10 or so.
