Nikon D80 with 18 - 135mm Lens

By STEVE ROBINSON (01/12/2007)

Pros: I can use all of my Nikon AF fit lenses
Cons: Inbuilt operating menu takes some getting used to

Being a relative novice/hobbyist when it comes to photography I did intend on buying one of the D40 products untill I discovered that my existing Nikon AF lenses were incompatible so I decided on the D80. I am glad I did.

For me the build quality is superb as is the battery life (on a single charge). Yes the inbuilt operating menu can be a little daunting at first but it allows you to start with the preset quick shoot options and develope at your own speed.

I have read here reviews dissappointed with the kit 18 - 135 lens but I cannot find fault with it. Overall and excellent piece of kit.
