Nikon D80

The D80 slots nicely between the entry-level D50 and the semi-professional / professional D200, clearly based on the D70 design but also different enough to be seen as a completely new model. It features a ten megapixel DX format CCD (the same we presume as used by Sony in the DSLR-A100), the metering sensor from the D50 and numerous other items taken or modified from the D200. Key features • 10.2 megapixel DX format CCD (1.5x FOV crop) • Image processing engine (similar to D200 / D2X) • 3D Color Matrix Metering II, 420 pixel sensor (same as D50) • 11-area AF system (new version of Multi-CAM 1000, similar to D200) • Custom Auto ISO (selectable maximum ISO, minimum shutter speed) • Configurable high ISO and long exposure noise reduction • Mechanical only shutter (maximum 1/4000 sec, flash sync to 1/200 sec) • Quoted 80 ms shutter lag (short viewfinder blackout; 160 ms) • Larger, brighter pentaprism viewfinder (x0.94 magnification) • Support for SD-HC (SD cards over 2 GB in capacity) • In-camera retouching • D-Lighting (shadow / highlight enhancement) • Red-eye reduction • Trimming • Monochrome • Filter effects • Small picture • Image overlay • Multiple-exposures • Compact body (smaller, lighter than D70/D70s) • Improved menu user interface • Higher capacity EN-EL3e battery
