interesting - there used to be at least a dozen reviews of this camera on this site, but they seem to have been removed.
I bought this camera, found it too complicated and difficult to use, with tiny controls that were very inconvenient and hard to maneuver. I constantly had to have the instruction booklet with me. I ended up trading the N80 to a camera shop for a very good lens.
Maybe some people think that autofocus is worth the trouble, but I didn’t.
Here’s the main point. Nikon cameras are wonderful because the lenses are so good. I think new photographers make a very big mistake if they spend a lot of money on a Nikon camera body, and then buy a cheap lens to go with it.
My recommendation is this: Buy the cheapest Nikon camera body you can find, and then save your money for the best lenses. It’s the lens that’s capturing the image, not the body

I was using a minolta X300, and decided it was time for an upgrade, after trying out some camera’s in the shop, i decided on the Nikon N80…now i have only ran 3 films through it but am finding the autofocus a little tedious, once focused on something i only have to move it slightly and it focuses on something else in the viewfinder, although it does have another focus mode as yet untried and autofocus lock which i havn’t tried out yet, if this fails then i will be shooting in manual focus mode. The other gripe i have with it is some of the controls are small and difficult to use, and virtually impossible with gloves on. i am using Tamron lenses with the body and am getting very sharp pictures.
The autofilm loading is a blessing compared to doing it myself and autorewind which is really fast, because of the autofilm advance i am finding i am using film really quickly, and thats without the autowinder at 2.5 frames per second, i just don’t realise how many pictures i am taking as it winds on automatically.
I guess to sum this body up i would say if you are looking for an autofocus camera with a few bells and whistles to play with, then this is a very good choice, i am an amateur with NO experience with autofocus, so i have a lot to learn as yet, but am very happy with my choice and looking forward to finding out all it has to offer, bear in mind i have just come from a camera with which i had to do everything myself and i think i’m just a little confused at all the automated features now available to me

I’ve had this camera since 2002 (bought it used) because I was getting a little bit sick and tired inserting 35mm film into my Nikon FM10 (still love this camera too). This camera performs as I expected and I had no problem with it at all. I may not have used all its features (I’ve used it mainly for point and shoot) but all the pictures that I took turned out great. The only time when the pictures turn out blurry is when I accidentally focused it on something behind the subject (human error). It also helps a lot when you have a basic understanding of photography. I fully recommend this camera.

the older days. AH,yes. decent body, but you need a lens.[dont we all..]
mine was OK. the button for the flash has a short in the flap switch that doesn’t always work. other than that, it works okay. not an F5, but it does the job nicely.

I receifed a F 80. The company had some computer problems. I got the lens and was told that the order was completed. I emailed them and asked where was my camera. They corrected the error. Offered me a full refund or a different camera.
I took the silver body F80.
It is a very nice camera. I am happy with it.
