Comments about Nikon Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Body - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:
I do a lot of waterfall and landscape imaging and on manual control and low ISO the D80 is outstanding. The shutter is fast enough for action shots but at ISO of 1600 there is a lot of noise in the image and is unsuitable for bracketing an HDR image. for fast shots keep the ISO as low as possible and get the F stop number below 5 if you can. It has been a great first SLR camara!!

Comments about Nikon Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Body - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:
It's worth for the price & quality. Light weigh. Save your money, it looks brand new. Just only one con is pretty slow for auto focus.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Body - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:
I just recieved the D80 about 1 week ago and have been shooting about 100 shots a day since then. It is an easy camera to learn the controls and menu system are functional and well placed. Love the price and battery life is excellent. The only complaint has mostly to do with the dusty climate I live in. If you live in a dusty climate purchasing the firefly or some other sensor cleaner and a good lense cleaning system is a must.
Great color response

Needed a refurbished Nikon as a new one was out of reach. Got a great deal from ADORAMA.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Body - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:
I used my D80 with a 10-year old nikkor 24-120mm AF-D lens. it focuses with the lens but sometimes the AF hunts. for a refurb unit it looks brand new. my unit had 1500 actuations when i got it. no internal or external problems. flash works perfectly (works both in commander (with my SB-600) and TTL (stand-alone). [...] is comparable to 2nd hand units. but i would rather get this refurb unit because i know that Nikon made this unit almost brand new.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Body - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:
I like this far better than than my S9100 digicam. You're not just paying for optics; you're paying for skill and commitment. The menu system is great and extremely legible, but well-placed, well-thought-out buttons give you shortcuts. Two complaints: Personally, I can't easily afford to be mugged for this, and when you use latched-in Single-Servo autofocus, apparently although it doesn't readjust the focus when you push the shoot button, it will refuse to shoot if, at that time, it doesn't think the shot is focused. All I know is, it refused to shoot, and I'm confused and angry. I now use Continuous-Servo with latched-in autofocus ("AF-On", I think they call it). You just need to make sure it did succeed. Why don't I use manual focus? The lenses are no good for it; they weren't honestly designed for it; too sensitive, and no optical aids. But I suppose I'd buy the thing again.

Well, mine didn't work at all and I had to send it to service center. I guess it really depends on luck.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Body - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:
EXIF said that my first shot on this refurbished camera was the 647th shot it had taken in its life. I have now put another 1,000 shots on it, and for all intents and purposes, it is a new camera for ~65% of its MSRP when it was newly released. It works flawlessly, just like a D80 is supposed to work. I'm very satisfied with the quality of the refurbishment (whatever that was - who cares?) and Adorama's pricing, aggressive even when compared to used cameras with tens of thousands of shutter actuations selling elsewhere. I paired it with the Mack warranty - which is arguably better than the Nikon US warranty because you can get service off shore as well as in the US - and feel very comfortable overall.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Body - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:
Save almost $[...] with a refurbished camera that Nikon made like new. Buy a Mack Camera Warranty for $5[...] and you can have a trouble-free camera for 3 years. Net savings pays for the 18-55mm standard lens.Adorama tells it like it is. They don't publish lowball prices on the internet for unknown origin cameras and then charge for the box, battery, manual, cables and everything else that shound come with it. Not to mention they advertise with a bunch of different names and you're not sure who they really are.
