Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down. The imaging sensor is at the core of digital cameras and its size is one of the main determining factors of image quality. A large sensor will generally have larger individual pixels that offer better low-light sensitivity, provide wider dynamic range , and have richer color-depth than smaller pixels in a sensor of the same technological generation.
Further, a large sensor camera will give the photographer additional creative options when using shallow depth-of-field to isolate a subject from its background. On the downside, larger sensors tend to be associated with larger, more expensive camera bodies and lenses. Both cameras under consideration feature an APS-C sensor and have a format factor sometimes also referred to as "crop factor" of 1.
Within the spectrum of camera sensors, this places the review cameras among the medium-sized sensor cameras that aim to strike a balance between image quality and portability. Both cameras have a native aspect ratio sensor width to sensor height of The two cameras under review do not only share the same sensor size, but also offer an identical resolution of 10 megapixels. This similarity in sensor specs implies that both the D and the D80 have the same pixel density, as well as the same pixel size.
It should, however, be noted that the D80 is a somewhat more recent model by 9 months than the D, and its sensor might have benefitted from technological advances during this time. Consistent information on actual sensor performance is available from DXO Mark for many cameras. The Overall DXO ratings for the two cameras under consideration are close, suggesting that they provide similar imaging performance. The adjacent table reports on the physical sensor characteristics and the outcomes of the DXO sensor quality tests for a sample of comparator-cameras.
Beyond body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a range of features. The D and the D80 are similar in the sense that both have an optical viewfinder. The latter is useful for getting a clear image for framing even in brightly lit environments.
The adjacent table lists some of the other core features of the Nikon D and Nikon D80 along with similar information for a selection of comparators.
While being, of course, smaller than the rear screen, the control panel conveys some of the essential shooting information and can be convenient for quick and easy settings verification. The Nikon D has an intervalometer built-in. This enables the photographer to capture time lapse sequences, such as flower blooming, a sunset or moon rise, without purchasing an external camera trigger and related software. For some imaging applications, the extent to which a camera can communicate with its environment can be an important aspect in the camera decision process.
The table below provides an overview of the connectivity of the Nikon D and Nikon D80 and, in particular, the interfaces the cameras and selected comparators provide for accessory control and data transfer. Studio photographers will appreciate that the Nikon D unlike the D80 features a PC Sync socket , so that professional strobe lights can be controlled by the camera.
Both the D and the D80 have been discontinued , but can regularly be found used on eBay. Further information on the two cameras e.
So how do things add up? Which of the two cameras — the Nikon D or the Nikon D80 — has the upper hand? OVFs are also better in low light situations. We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect. A hot shoe can be used to attach an external flash, as well as light meters, viewfinders, rangefinders and other attachments.
A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos. A system camera has many interchangeable components such as lenses, flashes, and other accessories. System cameras offer greater flexibility than compact cameras. Optics 1. The larger the sensor the more light the sensor captures yielding in better image quality. The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
With a higher light sensitivity ISO level , the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash. Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots.
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots. Optical image stabilization uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the vibrations of the camera. The lens adjusts the optical path accordingly, ensuring that any type of motion blur is corrected before the sensor captures the image.
Phase-detection autofocus is much faster than a contrast detection autofocus, allowing for sharper images. A faster maximum shutter speed allows taking pictures of fast moving subjects without blur. Videography 1. When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp. A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. But of course you can also get a used D for that price though it might be for the body only , and for some types of shooting the D will be much better.
Just depends on this photographer's needs. Is it worth the hefty price tag? We take a look at the Cine, the high-end model in this series. The Nikon Z9 is the company's first camera to feature a stacked CMOS sensor, which brings a raft of new features, including blazing speed and autofocus performance to the Z lineup. Click through for our detailed first impressions of Nikon's latest professional ILC. The Sony a7 IV is the fourth generation of the company's core a7 full-frame mirrorless camera model, and it's the most advanced yet.

For some users, this app alone might be worth the cost of the whole collection — find out for yourself in our review. The Nikon Z mm F2. Get all the details in our full review. These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both speed and focus for capturing fast action and offer professional-level image quality. Although a lot of people only upload images to Instagram from their smartphones, the app is much more than just a mobile photography platform.
