Features

10.2 Megapixel CCD sensor
Seven preset scene modes (Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports, Night Landscape and Night Portrait) selectable using a top-mounted dial
User-selectable image optimization options (Normal, Softer, Vivid, More vivid, Portrait, Custom and Black-and-white)
In-camera Retouch feature with D-Lighting, Red-eye correction, Trim, Image overlay, Monochrome and Filter effects
In-camera Multiple exposure feature (merges up to three consecutive images)
USB 2.0 Hi-speed interface
Pentaprism viewfinder, rather than the more compact penta-mirror set up (0.94× magnification vs. 0.8× for the D40x). Same one on D200.
2.5 inch, 230,000 pixel LCD monitor (same as in D40, D40x and D200).
Internal screw-drive focus motor of prior autofocus film and digital SLRs (suitable for the use of autofocus with late film-era Nikkor AF and AF-D lenses).

The Nikon D80 also inherits some of the D200's features such as the 10.2 MP image sensor, albeit with slower data throughput than the D200. The D80 is the second Nikon DSLR to use the SD card (the D50 being the first), rather than the CF card storage used in the D70, D70s and D200 and higher-end models. The higher storage capacity SDHC standard is also supported.

Optional accessories

Wireless ML-L3 (IR) remote control and MC-DC1 remote cord
Battery MB-D80 battery grip. Cheaper after-market clones exist.

Firmware

The last firmware set was released September 24 2008. v1.11 is the last version number for the A and B firmware. As of August 2018, it is available on the Nikon support site. The last firmware release coincides with the release of the D90, the replacement of the D80.
