[QUOTE="stmv, post: 82855, member: 10038"] smiles,, yup,, D80 is a collector camera. Why: it is the last CCD family Nikon before CMOS. Why CMOS,, lower power, but different look then D80 CCD D80 is what got me to switch from film to Digital. The pictures are so vibrant, and alive. Side by side, the D80 smacked my film shots, and... 10Meg was just the edge of enough pixels for decent 11x14 prints. over time, I have sold D50s, D300, etc,, but I have no plans on selling the D80. My wife uses it,, and once I upgrade her camera, the D80 returns to me. Interesting topics.. which Nikon DSLRs will stay in the collection. so for example,, for film,, I kept a FM2, FE2, FA, and a F3 (well and my original Nikkormat). and for now,, I would say my lineup for keepers of DSLRs D50 (no), D80 (yes), D70 (no), D300 (no), D700 (yes), D7000 (maybe, but most likely no), D800 (yes). I have already sold the D50, D300, and one of my D700s. so,, each person list would be different, but some cameras just deserve to stay in the kit. The D70 was a tough one, but I needed money for the D80, and I really like the D70. I could see people putting the D200 on the list. Of course, there are the big format cameras, but I personally don't like my camera such large frames. Full time professionals must just laugh, for some, cameras are just tools of the trade, buy, use, trade up to the next one. You can always keep the D80 as in the car at all times camera. [/QUOTE]
