Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body only)

Nikon D80 over all quality
At the present time this Nikon camera gives you the most bang for the buck. Good overall performance and acceptable image quality even under low light and a high 1600 ISO.

Perfect
It was between the D40 and the D90. The D80 won. It has all of the features a DSLR owner would want in their first camera.

Nikon D80 Kit
For digital camera users wanting to upgrade from point and click to a relatively sophisticated SLR, the D80 makes the most sense.
