Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera Body features:

• 10.2 Effective Megapixels, 10.75 Total Megapixels, Nikon DX Format CCD Image Sensor.
The D80 features a 10.2 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor. Optimized to capture sharp details and yield extraordinarily high-resolution images, this new sensor provides plenty of freedom to crop creatively or print impressive enlargements. And its class-leading resolution is only matched by its ability to outperform its predecessors.

• New High-Resolution Image-Processing Engine
A dedicated new high-performance system large scale integrated processing chip greatly accelerates performance on all levels, while also consuming less power than its predecessors.

• Instant Start-up and Immediate Response

The D80 starts up in a mere 0.18 seconds, so is ready to shoot immediately. Its short shutter release time lag of just 80 milliseconds helps ensure instant response while shooting, as does the fast and precise focus of the new 11-area AF system with AF-assist illuminator. Images are processed and recorded extremely fast while preview images are displayed instantly.

• High Speed Continuous Shooting
Capable of shooting a rapid 3 frames per second in continuous bursts of up to 100 JPEG images, the D80 makes it easier to stay on top of the action or to capture those unexpected yet precious picture opportunities. Refinements to achieve this performance include improved processing speed, optimized buffer memory handling, as well as higher data transfer rates to the SD memory card.

• Up to 2,700 Images per Battery Charge
The EN-EL3e rechargeable lithium-ion battery increases energy capacity to deliver enough power to shoot as many as 2,700 images per charge.* The battery can be recharged at any time, and it now features an accurate real-time fuel gauge system that displays the percentage of remaining charge, number of shots since last charge and overall status of battery service life.
*Based on factory testing, specific settings and lens in use.

• Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II with 420-Pixel RGB Sensor
Consistently dependable exposure is the hallmark of Nikon's exclusive 3D Color Matrix Metering II. Refinements for the D80 include its inheriting the advanced exposure evaluation system from the Nikon D2Xs and D200 digital SLR cameras. Brightness, color, contrast, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance information is evaluated, the results referenced against the expansive onboard database of exposure data from over 30,000 actual photographic scenes. Variable-size center-weighted metering is also available, as are a choice of eleven spot meters linked to each of the 11-area AF system's area sensors.

• In-Camera Editing Functions
Exclusive in-camera image-editing features under the D80’s new Retouch menu help ensure consistently satisfying results and greater creative freedom in the field.
Options include:
D-Lighting
In-Camera Trimming
In=Camera Red-Eye Fix
Image Overlay
Monochrome Settings
Filter Effects

• Built-in Speedlight with i-TTL flash control
The powerful built-in Speedlight does much more than fire when natural lighting is inadequate or effectively add balanced fill flash when there is strong backlighting. Nikon's highly robust i-TTL flash control evaluates flash exposure with greater precision to achieve better automatic flash balance and deliver outstanding results. It also helps realize built-in features such as Repeating Flash function for capturing fast moving subjects and Modeling Flash, which allows photographers to visually check for shadows and reflective objects and assess overall lighting prior to shooting. Full support for the Advanced Wireless Lighting System lets the built-in Speedlight function as a remote commander that provides direct control over two remote groups of wireless SB-600, SB-800 or SB-R200 Speedlights.

• Large Wide-Angle 2.5" LCD Monitor with Improved Menus
The D80 incorporates a large, new 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD monitor that provides an ultra-wide 170-degree viewing angle. Images can be previewed at up to 25 times magnification to help accurately assess sharpness. A new RGB histogram display aids in evaluating exposures with greater precision. Playback options include single frame, 4- or 9-image thumbnail display, revised zoom with scroll, an improved histogram display and highlight point display. Refinements to the new menu interface make navigation easier on the eye, easier to understand and easier to use. The carefully chosen color scheme helps make the larger font size of menu items remarkably easy to read. Menus can be customized to display only selected items using the new "My Menu" set.

• 11-Area AF System with Multi-CAM 1000 AF Sensor
The D80 inherits Nikon's advanced Multi-CAM 1000 AF Sensor Module that recently debuted in the D200. Refinements to this new 11-area AF system ensure consistently fast and precise focus acquisition under varying shooting conditions, all while adding effective new focusing options aimed at instilling photographers with greater confidence to get the desired shot. The center sensor can be switched from precise to wide-frame operation for broader coverage. Refinements to the programming algorithms that control lens focus action further improve system response and focus precision, along with subject acquisition and tracking abilities of Dynamic AF mode.
The newly added Auto-area AF mode measures all 11 focus areas, automatically determines which of them are on the primary subject, and activates only those areas. Focus area display within the viewfinder is also revised for the D80. During AF measurement, all AF points that lie within the range of proper focus briefly light up for easier confirmation.

• 7 Digital Vari-Programs
The D80 incorporates seven Digital Vari-Programs (Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Macro Close up, Sports, Night Landscape, Night Portrait) enabling photographers to shoot great pictures with ease under common picture-taking situations such as landscapes, portraits and close-up images. Other exposure modes such as Programmed Auto with flexible program; Shutter Priority Auto; Aperture Priority Auto; and Manual can also be set.

• Image Optimization Options
Easily accessed optimization options closely tailor results to hand or the intended use of the image. Optimization of sharpening, contrast, color, saturation and hue is controlled by the choice of Normal, Softer, Vivid, More Vivid, Portrait, Custom and Black and White. The Black and White mode can be customized using traditional red, green, yellow and orange filter effects as well as adjustments to image sharpening and tone compensation.

• Large, Bright 0.94x Viewfinder

Another important new feature of the D80 is the adoption of the pentaprism viewfinder from the D200. This new eye-level optical viewfinder features large magnification (0.94x) that helps ensure a clear view for precise composition. The new diopter adjustment control knob also makes it easier to fine tune the view to match eyesight. The viewfinder's integrated grid display can also be turned on to assist composition.

• Built-in Slideshow Functions

The D80 offers a variety of built-in slideshow options, including style selections such as the Pictmotion option that control transitions and background music. Shows can be enjoyed on the camera's 2.5-inch LCD monitor, or on a television complete with audio when connected via the supplied AV cable.
