Comments about Nikon F80 Camera Body with Date (Silver):
This international version of the N80 is equal to its American counterpart. I have both versions. I prefer film over digital and developing my own film and darkroom prints. I purchased this body so I would have a backup for my N80 and to also have the ability to use them simutaneously with both color and B&W film.
Pros
- Attractive Body
- Comfortable Design
- Film
- Fingertip Controls
- Light
- Reliable Operation
- Small
- Strong Construction
Cons

- All Styles Except Sports
Comments about Nikon F80 Camera Body with Date (Silver):
I Bought The N80(Normal Black Version)So I Could Dip My Toes Into The World Of SLR Photography...I Could Have Easily Bought A Digital SLR...But I Chose a Used N80 instead. So Glad i Did.
I Purchased a Nikon D70 A few months after my first date with the N80. I Found Myself running back to the N80.
The Camera Is Light and Feels Better in you hand compared to the D70/D40. When You Put your eye into the viewfinder you'll melt. The Viewfinder is large,vivid,and clear in comparison
Shooting Is Simple while keeping you in full control.It has everything you need and works with modern Nikon lenses, including VR(But Not DX because they are made specifically for digital)
I Recommend this camera to anyone...Even Beginners. Its Small,Reliable, and Fun to use.
Purchase a Nikkor 50mm 1.8(Cheapest Nikon lens)from B&H and you'll have a classic combo for nearly every situation.
