This review is from: Nikon N80 2 Lens Kit (Electronics)

The Nikon N80 is a super camera. When I bought mine 6 months ago, the price for this package was more than $700 ... but the prices have come down significantly. Take advantage and buy this camera today!

This package offers two very high-quality Nikon lenses, to go with an excellent camera body. The camera itself offers you the ability to use manual mode, shutter-priority, or aperture-priority, or a truly stunning "program" mode. The program mode is amazing. It will let you keep moving objects in perfect focus, even if they are moving towards you, so that you get a perfect picture every time. It comes with a built-in speedlight, and offers so many features that Nikon has even developed a video to help you understand them all!

The two lenses in this package cover the complete range: 28 mm wide-angle... 50 mm normal ... 90 to 105 mm for portraits ... and up to 300 mm zoom. The low end is 28 mm because the N80's built-in speedlight is designed to provide flash coverage up to 28 mm ... anything smaller and the speedlight may not cover it.

As for the high-end, Quantaray has come out with a 2x teleconverter for Nikon autofocus cameras, that allows you to extend that 300 mm zoom all the way up to 600 mm ... perfect for nature and sports photography. The Quantaray teleconverter can be found at camera stores for around $100.00 or so ... making this a super deal, that you will love for years to come.

After I got my camera, and began using it ... my husband liked the results so much that he decided he would shelve his old Canon camera and buy an N80 too. We'd definitely recommend it!
