| Retail info | |
The Nikon D80 is a digital single-lens reflex camera model announced by Nikon on August 9th, 2006.[2] The camera shipped the first week of September to US retailers. Considered by many to be an amalgam of design elements of the entry-level D50 and high-end D200 cameras, it occupied the same price bracket the Nikon D70 did at the time of its release. The Nikon D80 was manufactured in Ayuthaya, Thailand. It was replaced by the Nikon D90 in August, 2008.

The D80 is the second Nikon DSLR to use the SD card (the D50 being the first), rather than the CF card storage used in the D70, D70s and D200 and higher-end models. The higher storage capacity SDHC standard is also supported.
