Nikon D80: a winning update

May 1st, 2007

The Nikon D80 handles well with all the buttons and wheels falling into place in your hands. I mainly take portrait photographs and it works fine in the studio. I’ve got no complaints whatsoever. The battery lasts for ages and hasn’t let me down at all. I was a bit nervous as I’d borrowed a D70 for a few weeks and the battery readout went from full to empty fairly quickly (if I remember correctly after around 300 photos) and once it was on the last 25% it ran out all of a sudden. I haven’t had this with the D80. The readout looks pretty accurate and I think I get around 1000 shots from a charge including uploading to the pc with it plugged in via USB. I also view and review my shots all the time so the LCD is on a lot.
