Nikon D80 Digital SLR camera

Rating: 
4/5

Specs: Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens System Camera, SD Memory Card*1 (SDHC, SDXC, UHS-I compatible, Eye-Fi Card compatible*2 ) *1: Class 6 or higher is recommended for Movie shooting. *2: Not compatible with Endless Memory. Micro Four Thirds Mount

Pros & Cons: Clarity, focus, style

Summary: I started using a digital SLR camera about five years ago. It was a basic point-and-shoot camera and most of the photographs were pretty poor quality. A consultant suggested I purchase a Nikon D80 Digital SLR and a set of R1 flashes. All of a sudden it was a whole new world of photography.

Pros & Cons: Clarity, focus, style

Summary : It’s actually a pretty basic camera compared to some others on the market. I use it with a Sigma ring flash and get good clear images that can be easily manipulated to make a patient presentation.
