Nikon - D80 SLR Digital Camera Kit with 18-55mm & 55-200mm VR Lenses - KIT BUNDLE SAVINGS!

The D80 is a decent body with 10.2 MP.  The only thing I haven't liked about it is the auto white balance, which seems to be inconsistent.  I can take multiple shots of the same thing and sometimes get differing color settings.  Other than that the camera works great.  I also have an MB-D80 battery grip, 70-210mm f4-5.6D AF lens, and SB-800 flash (among other little goodies).  (Oh, and I suppose the frame rate could be a little faster too, but that is certainly not a complaint, just run into a couple times where faster would have been nice.)

The D80 has worked good in S and A modes with and without flash, and M mode in the studio.

I run in RAW mode and save any exposure/WB changes into a TIF file.  Then make any other adjustments when I create a JPG.  This camera uses SD cards and with 133x cards I can sustain 2fps up to like 99 RAW images then have to let off the shutter.  Why I would fire off 99 in a row is beyond me so not a limitation at all.

One thing I like about the D80 over the D70 and D70s is the auto ISO.  You can set the upper limit and shutter speed at which to increase the ISO.  Then set the low ISO setting and the camera does it automatically.  I run ISO100 (the lowest) and the upper at ISO800, noise isn't bad at all at 800 so why not let the camera adjust it.  One caveat, though.  When in Manual mode you still have to shut off the auto ISO in the menu.  If you don't it still auto-adjusts!  What's up with that??

A feature request?  That would have to be a couple memories for saving specific camera settings in all the menus.  I can save all the settings I'd use in the studio and all the settings I'd use on location and just recall them from a menu on demand.  Much more difficult to forget the one setting that can ruin your well-planned shot.
