Nikon D80


Hello all! Neil here, with the first of many posts. I might as well chime in on the topic du jour (or perhaps yester-jour), that being details and images of Nikon's upcoming D80 DSLR being leaked out into the blogosphere (are we still using that term?). From the images I've seen, it looks like the body is a nice hybrid of the D50's simple layout, the D70S's more prosumer-aimed features (second control dial, dedicated buttons for flash compensation and metering options), and the D200's higher resolution CCD sensor and ginormous LCD screen. Based on these photos, this is the second Nikon DSLR to make the move to SD cards, a move I expect more and more models to make in the future. Of course, this could all be proven incorrect when we get the official skinny from Nikon on 9 August. Oh, I can't wait!
