Description: Camera: The D80 features a 10.2 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD
image sensor. Optimized to capture sharp details & yield extraordinarily
high-resolution images, this new sensor provides plenty of freedom to
crop creatively or print impressive enlargements. Its class-leading
resolution is only matched by it's ability to outperform its predecessors.
Starts up in 0.18 seconds, ready to shoot immediately. The D80
incorporates a large, new 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD monitor
providing an ultra-wide 170-degree viewing angle. Preview at up to 25
times magnification to help accurately assess sharpness.
Lens: Versatile, high-power 7.5x zoom NIKKOR lens approximates the
picture angle performance of a 28-200mm lens on 35mm SLR.
A Nikon Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass element delivers superior
optical performance. ED glass minimizes chromatic aberrations,
contributing to superb contrast and resolution performance.
Internal Focus provides fast and quiet auto focusing without changing the
length of the lens, retaining subject-working distance through the focus
range.
Focus as close as 1.47 ft throughout entire zoom range. Non-rotating
front element provides for convenient use of circular polarizing filters and
the Nikon wireless close-up Speedlight system.
A Compact Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables fast and quiet auto
focusing, along with quick switching between auto focus and manual
operation(M/A and M).
A seven-blade rounded diaphragm opening, out-of-focus elements appear more natural.
67mm filter attachment size.
