Start-up takes a mere 0.18 seconds and shutter release time lag is only 80 milliseconds, delivering instant response that's as much as 32% faster than competing cameras. The D80 shoots at up to 3 frames per second in continuous bursts of up to 100 JPEG images.
-
The EN-EL3e rechargeable lithium-ion battery allows as many as 2,700 images per charge*.
-
New exclusive in-camera image editing functions include...
-
D-Lighting, which automatically balances lighting and brings out detail to enhance results.
-
In-camera Red-eye correction automatically detects and compensates for red-eye.
-
Images can be trimmed within the camera to produce smaller files with reduced display sizes.
-
Image Overlay merges a pair of selected D80 RAW files to create a separate composite image within the camera.
-
Monochrome settings (Black-and-white, Sepia, Cyanotype)
-
Filter Effects (Skylight, Warm Tone, Customized Colors)

-
D80's Speedlight with Nikon's exclusive i-TTL flash control is available when natural lighting is inadequate and adds balanced fill flash to offset backlighting.
