dSLR Dad

You can now buy the 10.2-megapixel Nikon D80 for just $699 at Amazon.com!  At that price,  it still offers many features that make it a better choice for a dSLR Dad compared to the Nikon D60.  Features such as:

• 11-area Autofocus system with wide-area center segment and auto-area AF functions.  This AF system features a center cross-type sensor and excellent low light detection (inherited from the Nikon D200).
• A lens mount with the built-in focus drive motor.  Allowing you to use more than just AF-S lenses.
• Built-in Speedlight with Nikon i-TTL flash metering and two-group wireless commander mode that works with the with the  Nikon SB-900, SB-800, and SB-600 Speedlight Flashes.
• Auto exposure bracketing of 2 to 3 frames.
• A viewfinder that offers a 0.94x magnification (versus the D60’s 0.80x)
• Slightly larger body for those dSLR Dads with bigger hands.
• An available MB-D80 Vertical Battery Grip accessory for those who enjoy using such options.
