Can you see any difference in quality between the Nikon D3 vs. The Nikon D80?
I noticed that the D3 has superb quality in the way it preserves skin tones and clarity.
I haven’t really seen that in the D40-D90 and even the D300.
If I could show you a picture I would. But the main thing is that the D3’s quality seems really good when I look at pictures taken with it. But people and reviews say the Nikon D80/D90 and even D40 has the same photo QUALITY. Not the other whistles and bells, but just the photo quality.
I’m thinking of getting a D3, but don’t know if I should spare the extra money and get something like the D90 or D80 if it has the same quality. I want really good image quality specifically, but if the less expensive Nikons can do the same thing, then I don’t know what to pick…
What do you think?
Others have already covered it but my tuppence worth.
With no offence intended to you at all……..
For the majority of "photographers" and Joe Public there will be no noticeable difference between the two when it is a shot of the same subject (say a "standard" landscape) taken by an average photographer and then printed 8×10.
However when it comes down to requiring top quality for professional purposes then the D3 will win hands down for any number of reasons, most of which have been covered.
IF you are a serious photographer who is looking to have their work published or lodged with good libraries then the D3 range is the only way to go.
If you are an amateur/semi-pro who is doing photography for yourself with the possibility of doing some weddings or portraits then you can save some money by "stepping down" and spending the money saved on good glass.
p.s. for the record I use a D3 for the majority of my work.

From website reviews, I have learnt that entry level camera bodies don’t have autofocus motors. So buying new lenses is significantly more expensive.
I don’t think the kit lens will satisfy me eternally thats why I am moving to slr space over the ‘point and shoot’ cameras. So, please help me buy my first dslr.
"Auto Focus only for AF-S or AF-I lenses
Perhaps the biggest negative on the D40 is that it doesn’t have an internal focus drive motor and hence no mechanical focus drive pin, instead it only has CPU contacts which means it can only Auto Focus with AF-S and AF-I lenses (those with built-in focus motors). Indeed our ’standard’ lens the Nikkor 50 mm F1.8D (and the F1.4D) are manual focus only on the D40. The images below show the difference between the mount on the D40 and D80, the D80 has a mechanical focus drive pin at about the 7 o’clock position."

All four of the DSLRs you picked out are great and you can’t go wrong with any one of them. After my research I chose the Canon XTi over the Nikon D40x, that’s me and my personal preference. I live my XTi and my next Canon DSLR pick is there PRO D5 a 12.8MP.
i’ve been trying them out and reading a lot of reviews
i can’t make up my mind on which camera is better for me in the long run.
this camera is going to be my buddy, following me every step of the way. the weight different isn’t much if it’s worth it.
This would also be my first SLR, and i don’t want to upgrade or change anytime soon.
i’m thinking the d80 because i might want to blow up some pictures…
can anyone help tell the difference
If you can afford the D80, buy it. It has more features associated with the D200 but for about $500 less.

Any of the Nikon DSLR’s can provide excellent enlarged images …. their image sensors are over 15 times the size of the common P&S cameras.
If you ever start shooting with long lenses, handheld (like wildlife or sports) the added weight will be benefit to helping to stablize the camera/lens combination … even if your lens has the VR feature.
All my camera bodies have "battery grips" on them for not only adding to the number of shots I can take before having to worry about recharging the batteries, but the added weight adds to its mass making it easier to hand hold in low light situations
NOTE: If most bang for the buck is your goal, then buying the D40 with both the 18-55 and 55-200mm VR or a single 18-200mm VR lens package would be a good choice. Why? Because you will be buying a new body in four to five years, but the lenses you buy now will be lasting for decades. Any body you buy in the future will be using the lenses you bought now … just something to consider when looking into the future.

I use both film and digital but its time for me to upgrade. I don’t have much money, the most I can afford is a camera around $800. I’m choosing Nikon because it’s all I’ve ever used, and I don’t know much about other makes. Would a Canon Rebel be better for me? Shall I save more money for Nikon’s more professional D300? Or go with the D80, a camera made for amateurs? I’ve read good and bad reviews, though most of the problem with other users were for automatic settings, I use manual.
I’m very serious about my photography, but completely self taught… I am a bit rough and would like to have good equipment. Thanks for your time.
Hi!
I’ve been a professional for the past 8 years and started using the D-80 about 2 years ago, its a wonderful piece of machinery, light, yet capable of capturing a good amount of detail. And good call on on the manual aperture settings and whatnot, people need to a start with a strong set of fundamentals before shortcuts.
Oh, and the D-300, a super nice camera; I myself have not yet mastered the D-200 and am probably going to hold off until they lower the price/work out the kinks. For a beginner, I would recommend you start with a D-80 kit (look around online) and perhaps look at the D-300 in a year. Unless of course you’re the type that just wants to dive in w/ the 3000.
Hope this helped, good luck.
