Pros: Excellent image quality, big screen, relatively easy to use, has proffesional aspects, image enhancement options on camera, general high quality performance and lots of megapixels
Cons: Would like the photos per second to be a bit higher, High noise at higher ISOs (but recent downloadable Nikon software update has improved this a bit)

This is an excellent camera that can take a beating (eg falling on rocks), 3 photos per second (fairly good but could be higher). The large amount of megapixels allows for creative cropping. It is easy to zoom in and out of an image on the playback mode (just by pressing two buttons rather than holding a button and scrolling with the wheel). When light conditions are low, you put the ISO pretty high sometimes; the D80 doesn't respond well in terms of noise to this however Nikon have released a software update that you can put on your camera which includes more powerful ISO noise reduction. The camera, overall is tough, fairly fast, capable of high quality photos 95% of the time, has a big screen, is proffessional yet easy to use.
Over all this is a fantastic camera that suites my needs well and I am very happy with it. My rating is 95% for overall qualtity.
