My Nikon F80 ( the N80s designation outside the US) was bought eight years ago and has been used regularly since. I have travelled round Europe on holiday where the camera has been subjected to vibration and extremes of temperature, altitude and humidity. It has never let me down, I mostly shoot with slow speed slide film which is very unforgiving with respect to exposure. Any mistakes have been down to my own error rather than the camera. I have used the camera metering in very low light… Read Full Review

When I purchased this camera new about 5 years ago, I had a hard time deciding between it and the F100 which was 3x the cost. I knew the camera shared nearly all the same features of the F100, but was built on a poly-carb body rather than the metal frame of the F100.
I expressed my concern to a camera sales person at Hunt's and he told me, "Buy the N80...if you drop it, buy another, you're still ahead on the cost over the F100."
Excellent advice - I love my N80 and even though I shoot my D80…

Nikon has a winner with this little beauty, the N80. It is packed to the brim with features galore. You can use a variety of metering options (3D matrix, centre weighted, & spot), so it has got enough ground for the beginner to expand to intermediate level. You can vary the focal point with a selector at the film back door, and lock it so you don't change the setting accidentally. Many photographers love the depth of field preview with allows you to see how much is in focus in front of and… Read Full Review

I could not agree more. I bought an F100 soon after it came out. A couple of months ago I bought an F80 for my daughter. I prefer it to the F100, even though you can buy 3 F80's for the price of one F100 (and still have change!). I prefer the F80 because it is lighter, has a handy built in flash, on-demand grid lines, better thought out viewfinder display, conventional threaded cable release, and a quieter shutter. It seems to focus just as fast, and judge exposures just as well as the F100. The areas where it is obviously weaker than the F100 (lens compatibility, slower shutter, slower autowind, not so toughly built) do not matter to me. I am about to replace my F100 with one!

Hey, very nice review. The reviewer hit it on the head. This camera, sometimes referred to as the "little F100",is loaded like a "millionaire". It does it all, at an affordable price. Nikon did a splendid job in the
development of this camera. A "gem", I must say. Hey, I look at it as the N80, being what the N70, should have been. Hey, Nikon got it right. A entry_level, pro_camera, as I would call it. This camera is no "chump", it fits into the camera game. And, it holds it's own, very well. I do mainly weddings with mine, and it really performs. Done a lot of shooting with this camera, never been disappointed, just mystified. Hey to make it short, this N80, is 4real. And, yeah "I love it"........2_death.
