Key Advantages

The Nikon D80 delivers high-resolution 10.2 MP images with low noise levels even at high ISO settings. Its 11-point autofocus system ensures sharp focus across a wide area, ideal for capturing moving subjects. The camera body offers robust build quality and ergonomic design, comfortable for extended shooting sessions. Compatibility with a broad range of Nikkor lenses gives users flexibility in photography styles. The inclusion of a 2.5-inch LCD provides a good balance between size and clarity for image playback. Additionally, the D80 offers users manual and semi-automatic controls, empowering creative photographic control.

Limitations

Despite solid performance, the Nikon D80's 2.5-inch LCD resolution is lower compared to more recent digital cameras. The camera does not offer video recording capabilities, which may limit versatility for multimedia content creation. Its ISO range, while decent for the time, can produce some noise at higher settings compared to modern sensors. The absence of live view mode restricts composition options through the LCD screen. Battery life is moderate, necessitating spare batteries for extended sessions. The camera's weight and size are relatively bulky compared to more compact digital cameras, which may affect portability.
