In-use performance also feels as though it's a step above its price class, instant power on time and on to shot time, very fast auto focus, short shutter lag and 'just-about a blink' viewfinder blackout (160 ms), fast record review and playback as well as fast SD card write performance. Stack on top of this control over settings which are just 'defaulted' on other cameras (such as high sensitivity noise reduction) and it's pretty obvious that the D80 is in a class of its own in this respect. Spend some time with the camera manual and looking through the menus and you'll begin to realize the amount of customization available, with no less than 32 custom functions there's very little you can't configure to your way of working. Things just get better the more you use the camera, you will begin to discover the usefulness of major features like the customizable automatic ISO and the subtle touches like being able to tap the DELETE button twice to delete an image (sounds insignificant, but in use things like this make the D80 far more usable than other cameras). It's one of those cameras which just feels 'right and sorted' from the moment you pick it up. The number of cons, and the fact that there are no serious ones, is a testament to the thought and work that has gone into the D80's design. Slower maximum shutter speed (1/4000 vs 1/8000 sec) compared to D70/D70s.Limited image parameter adjustment (especially for color saturation).No RAW adjustment with supplied PictureProject, only simple conversion.Disappointing automatic white balance performance in incandescent light.Default sharpness level perhaps still a little conservative. ![]()
