Customer Reviews

Excellent starter kit by kin.vhw
This is an excellent package with pretty much everything you’ll ever need for entry level.

The 18-55 is pretty good for it’s price, much better than the one found in the competition. the 70-300 is quite slow but with good light and stoped down works pretty decently.

excellent package by Vilma Ovalles
D80 Compact body, bright and large viewfinder, easy to use, decent low-light performance, good menus strong battery impressive pictures incredibly flexible, very good lenses and cool accessory.

Best bang for the buck!!!! Isn’t there a 6th star?? by edgarvhulcer
You may find in many other sites & reviews how sweet and delightful this camera is, so I won’t write anything more about it. Now, if you’re seriously looking after the D80 to buy it… this is the pack to get! Look no further!!!

This will get you EVERYTHING you want/need (for starters, enthusiasts and even serious photographers) and maybe a little more: You get the camera body (and all its accessories like battery, battery charger, strap, audio/video cable, USB transfer cable, manuals, etc ) and 2 great NIKKOR LENSES (Not Tamron or other brand of not-so-good quality lenses… but the real thing!!!) good enough for most shooting situations. A great 18-55 (in the low end it can start to give that wide angular feeling) and a 70-300 which is a really good telephoto lens. So in that field you’re covered.

You get a great 4 GB SD memory card, so you’re able to shoot about 530 full-10-megapixels jpgs shots in that single card!!! Plenty of storage room if you ask me! You also get a second rechargeable battery (EN-EL3), so you can be confident you will never run out of power. One charge of those 2 batteries will last about 700 non-flash-shots. So you’ll be more than ok with that too.

You get a useful SD card reader to transfer your pictures to your computer (you’ll also save camera battery life here…). I have to say that it’s also pretty fast: I transferred a full card to my laptop in about 3 minutes. You’ll also get some extras like a cleaning cloth and a photo data recovery software cd (not so useful in my opinion but nice to have…)

Finally, you’ll need something to store your camera, lenses, charger, batteries, and all your photography goodies right?? Well, you also get a Nikon SLR case which is perfectly designed to store all of the above!!! Baterry charger and everything!!! It still has room for a couple more of lenses and I also keep the D80 manuals in the bag on the front of the case. Despite what you may think, it’s not a bulky case. It’s about 27 x 15 x 17. Just sweet!!!

The only things that you’ll miss with this pack is protective filters for the 2 lenses (My advice is to get the Nikon NC filters….keep searching for them… ), a wireless remote for controlling the shutter speed (My advice is to also purchase the Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control for D50 & D70 Digital SLR Cameras. It’s about $9 from the same vendor of this awesome pack -Amazon from Cameta Camera Store - and despite its name, it also works flawlessly with D80) and a tripod (take your pick!!).

I purchased this very pack on August 9 2007 and received it 3 days later (I selected express shipping) and I’m really glad with my decision. I haven’t seen anything come close to this deal, and the camera and all the accessories are brand new, they shipped on time and in great conditions. I have now been able to test and play with the camera for a month and I can also say this is definitely a great choice (I would buy this D80 again vs Canon rebel XTi. This camera performs awesome in quality, speed, reliability and user options) As you may see, I’m really happy with this purchase and I would seriously recommend this pack to anyone. Really.
