Nikon N80
Thursday, January 12, 2012 by admin
I have been a Nikon user for almost ten years. My Nikon N70 The first is used and I love it. It was only after I read the reviews that I've learned it's supposed to be confusing, somewhat difficult to master, and not quite up to Nikon standards. I liked the results and loved my Nikon camera. When the N70 repairs needed and the cost was expensive, I bought a replacement, Nikon N80 which in all likelihood will be the last film camera (I just bought a Nikon D70s).
Nikon N80
N80 has the best features of the N70: an automatic and program modes for portraits, landscapes, night shots, action shots, and close, a setting that allows for manual focus and the ability to regulate a particular hole and shutter speed, bracketing, and red eye reduction. It has more features than the N60, but it works in a similar way to quickly eliminate some of the N70 which seems to confuse many people are used to the previous Nikon models. It is lightweight with a very good camera. Features that are too easy to master and allows one to take a sophisticated and creative pictures. It's also sturdy and I look forward to using it for years to come.

Nikon N80 Review
My guess is that some people reading this review may wonder should I invest $ 300 for a film camera when I can buy a digital SLR camera for just a little more. Digital is the wave of the future and the future is now, no question about it, and as I mentioned I have a digital camera. I believe that the camera film to teach someone to become a photographer to be more careful. I saw many people take the effort of finding their digital images can be removed and lose the big picture. Although it is true that with the digital results can be seen, the screen is very small and until images are downloaded and viewed on a computer eth, what appears to be a big shot may actually rubbish. Teaches film camera photographers to carefully frame a picture if for no other reason than the movie which costs money. Photography is also supposed to be fun, and see the results of the film whether it prints or slides can be fun. Also, although Photoshop can create black and white portraits to shoot digital, nothing will beat the darkroom experience. The most serious amateurs and professionals I know use both digital and film and I'm assuming that for the future I will be using digital for bright images and movies for scenics, landscapes, and nature shots. If you are serious about taking good photographs and the search for film cameras, the Nikon N80 is an excellent choice. It is quite cheap for what it offers, easy to use, and allows for the opportunity to take great photographs. For me, it's worth the investment.

I've been using Nikon equipment for over 20 years and this is my fourth Nikon body. It's also my first Nikon auto focus / auto exposure of the body. Frankly, the only reason I bought this camera I am middle-aged eyesight deteriorated. The focus of my body has become dfficult FM series in all but the situations light. The features this camera offers very good. The auto focus works pretty well although hunting in situations where lighting is not optimal. Like many owners, I turn off auto focus assist light annoying so I really can not complain much. By the way, the performance is the weakest auto focus lens with Nikon's highly encouraging that this model .... raising the variable aperture. I have no trouble with prime numbers with a 28-105 zoom but I hunted Nikon N80 to focus quite a bit.
Speaking of the lens. Do not fall into the trap of getting the N80 as a "kit" with zoom Nikkor 28-80 (or, worse yet, a few other brands). Not that the Nikkor 28-80 is all that bad, but if you are serious enough about photography to Nikon N80 probably better off putting money toward a better piece of glass. I would not suggest getting a "pro" zoom Nikkor. They are expensive and weighs a ton. However, you will not go wrong with either 28-105 or 28-85 AF-S. My favorite lens (and the reason why I've been using Nikons for years) is prime. Put together a kit that consists of a 24mm 2.8, 50mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8 and you'll be ready for what is best. If you need something else, there are loads of options primes to very good (and expensive) Nikkor 80-200 zoom.
The flexible exposure modes and metering accurately as you can get a brief on the shopping [...] F5. In other words, more than enough for all but the most demanding users. Nikon N80 The rinky-dink Flash onboard, works better than having the right to. Very accurate as fill flash. As with all on-camera flashes, the risk of red eye. However, for built-in, this is a pleasant surprise. I must take exception with Nikon for the printing of the manual is mostly nonsense. Worse than its competitors, but I guess they can not explain the option of auto-focus in less than one million words do not exist? I think it's all thanks to the manual.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned about this, but why SLR these days is so complicated? Who really needs all the different modes and overides and compensation and ....... well you get the idea. Although I knew this when I bought the Nikon N80, I was very disappointed not be able to meter with my manual focus Nikkor lenses. Is it really has brought the price up that much for adding these features? Like many Nikon users, I had / have a collection of old lenses that I want to be able to use. I've sold quite a bit and replace them with models of AF, but it's like having your pocket picked.
Many complain about the camera today polycarbonate body and poor construction of the lens. After cutting my teeth on the metal camera, I really have no complaints about the quality build of the Nikon N80. I can not imagine anyone but the pros actually wear one. Handling is very good (as I've come to expect from Nikon) and a battery that is quite nice as well. I'm not a big flash user. The bottom line is that I'm pretty much satisfied with all aspects of this camera. I just wish that Nikon has taken the existing customer base into account and designed the camera to meter with AI and AIS lenses. I think it means very little customer loyalty for companies today.
Edited: Sorry to say I only sell cameras and Nikkor 28-105 zoom lens. They just do not fit with my style of photography. After re-arranging some of the control and check the cheat sheet every time I want to make small adjustments just silly at least for me. I just bought a used Leica M6 and 50mm Summicron is much simpler to use and gives better results under most conditions. Nikon N80 These old eyes I love bright viewfinder and I get perfect focus under dim lighting that much than I could with the SLR.
