Nikon D80 VS Nikon 3000: What is the difference between the D80 to 3000?

Besides a few features, and the lack of a internal motor for focusing AF lenses, the D3000 is superior in every way. The D3000, though it's supposed to replace the D40 it's two steps above it and about half a step above a D80 when it comes to image quality.

Get SD880.G10 has the same image processing engine, the same 3" screen. The main differences are: G10 offers the ability to control aperture and shutter, and the ability shoot in RAW format. That's ALL. G10 is MUCH bigger/heavier. If you are not seriously into photography, you might be able to get better pictures with SD880, and you can put SD880 in your purse, your husbands pocket, ...., but you will need a separate bag for the G10.

I cannot do a comparison, as I have never used a Nikon L830. I can tell you, however, that the quality and color of the picture are excellent and zoom stability is very good, as well. I hope this helps!

Both the SB300 and the D80 support i-TTL so you'll be fine. I keep the SB300 and a 50mm 1.4 on my spare camera body for personal shots of my family. I keep everything on automatic so everyone can use it. I like the SB300 because it is small and it is perfect for bouncing a little light off the ceiling. I have a couple of SB900's and they're too big for others to use. I do wish the SB300 rotated side to side, but its little size is a good trade off.

I just called my wife at home and she looked at the cameras. There is a difference between the two Hoodman eye pieces - the D3s unit is much larger than the Hoodman for the D800 that I have, even though they are both round eye pieces. It also appears that they mount slightly differently, so I am going to urge you to find that chart that matcvhes the exact Hoodman with the specifi camera that you have....even if the eye pieces involved are both round. Better to be safe than have to return one that does not fit.

To my knowledge, the only difference is color. Since it is the same model, I doubt Nikon made any other significant changes.

Nikon D3100 is an excellent camera with great layout for easy use and wonderful image quality. The Nikon 18-300 lens is exceptional as an All in One choice and would give fantastic image quality with this camera. "However" I would not recommend this pairing because of weight in this lens. I am using with a D7100 that I believe is more compatible. The 70-300 lens is lighter ,as is, the18-200. Try to get them all in Your hand to get Your best assessment.

I own both. Bought one of first 18-200s made in Japan to go with my first dslr: D50 that I got for a trip to the Bahamas. Have wonderful images I still enjoy. Now have lightweight D5000 and super D7000. Bought 18-140 for light weight to hike w/D5000. Use 28-200 w/D7000 otherwise. Both focus quickly, iq is similar. Both have VR but 200 has active mode for shooting while moving, which I love. So 140 wins on weight, price, while 200 adds focal length and versatile VR.

I don't have the D300, but I do know there are two separate remotes for the D800 and the d7000

Dust is an issue if you plan to change lense often. I have a XTi, despite the dust cleaning system I don't plan to remove the lens much. Dust is a real problem for digital as the camera back never gets replaced unlike film.Also, D80 is $200 more than XTi. Nikon lenses are usually more expensive. Quality wise, i think, they are fairly equivalent. Your skills will probably make more difference than the equipment.

The short answer is, yes, this will work with your D80 camera. I bought mine when I was still using the D70. I continue to use the TC20E II through my D300 and now on my D700. The wonderful people at Nikon know that you will upgrade your camera as you gain experience and need more performance. That is why nearly all of the lenses they make will work on nearly all bodies. Unlike some competitors where one must buy a completely new set of lenses once you move from consumer to professional grade equipment.

I am wondering how much longer before the D80 is upgraded. Look at the discussions at nikonians.org.I don't think the D60 has sufficiently more features to justify upgrading from the D40.

Nikon MB-D11 for the 7000 is rock steady for me. Also gives me more mass to keep the camera steady. It also uses the same 9000mAH Li-ion as the D-800 so I have 6 sets of batteries that I keep charged up for a trip for both cameras. I shoot only NEF (raw) so both cameras use a lot of juice. The D-7000 has 16.2mp and the D800 has 32.3mp so you can see why I need the screw-on battery pack for both. Ken Kitajima- San Jose, CA.

the Nikon 3000 series is great for beginners and amateurs stay away from the 5000 series that is for more advanced photographers and professionals

Yes it will work with the D80 however i am using it with my D70 and am not impressed with the TTL operation as opposed to my SB600. for the price it is OK but will not compare to original Nikon SB's

I was faced with this exact problem and chose the 700. Here are my reasons. The 700 has a longer lens but the 800 has a wider lens. For my shooting purposes, longer is definitely more useful. You should think about what kind of shots you're likely to shoot and decide based on that.The 800 has a newer sensor and higher ISO capabilities. The higher ISO enables you to shoot in dark light so if you often shoot at night, that might be something to think about. I doubt the newer sensor is worth the $80. It's not like the 700 had a terrible sensor.
