Alexander Disenhof Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi everyone, I am looking to purchase a Nikon DSL-R and I have two big questions.... Are there any significant differences between the d60 and the d80 that makes the d80 worth buying? Also, there is a deal where I can buy the d80 with this lens: http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Camera-Lenses/2162/AF-S-DX-Zoom-NIKKOR-18-135mm-f/3.5-5.6G-IF-ED.html but I was thinking about maybe getting a d60 body and then a better lens. I was thinking a lens more like this: http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Camera-Lenses/2178/AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-16-85mm-f/3.5-5.6G-ED-VR.html I know the lens is where the action is, so I don't want to be stuck with a bad one. What do people think about the lens that comes on the d80? I want a zoom lens for all-purpose use. I am a student who is moving out to LA soon and I want a nice camera set-up so I can keep taking pictures and practice my art! Please Help!

Premium Member David Auner aac Posted December 15, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted December 15, 2008 The answer's to all your Nikon questions can be found here.... http://kenrockwell.com And here: Bjørn Rørslett's Lens Survey. Rørslett is more concerned with the pro stuff so you might not find all the recent plastic kit lenses there. Regards, Dave PS: Please bear in mind that some of that info might be biased. Some people don't trust Rockwell at all, some regard him as a guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Arata Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Good point David...I should have mentioned that, take Ken's stuff with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sheehy Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) I've always liked this site for lens info... http://photozone.de/all-tests I'm a bit wary of that kenrockwell site.. he makes some absolute value judgements on issues that are really subjective and depend a lot on the individual user... eg: ".. the ergonomics and handling of the Canons are inferior to Nikon.." ..?? :huh: Edited December 16, 2008 by Daniel Sheehy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
