  • Flash X-Sync speed reduced to 1/200 second
  • Maximum shutter speed is now 1/4000. (Compared to 1/500 and 1/8000 for the D70/D70S - But the upside is theres no "blooming" on severe overexposure.) Contrast adjustment has limited range
  • Needs to...

  • The supplied software
  • Switch to Secure Digital card media is a hassle for users who have invested in CompactFlash cards.

  • Overall cost is high
  • Some response times should be better
  • Price is a little high

  • Niveau général des performances, Accessible aux débutants, Viseur amélioré
  • Pas de stabilisateur intégré, Peu dévolution extérieure par rapport au D70
  • Attendue pour la rentrée, lannonce du nouveau reflex "expert" de Nikon aura finalement été avancée de quelques semaines, sans doute pour ne pas laisser trop davance à la concurrence. Sony et Pentax ont en effet été les premiers à sortir leur reflex n...

  • excellents rendu des couleurs et niveaux de bruit ; vaste jeu de fonctionnalités ; nombreuses possibilités de personnalisation ; performances fulgurantes.
  • logiciel d’édition de fichiers RAW facturé en sus ; synchronisation du flash à 1/200 s.

  • hervorragende Farbwiedergabe und sehr gute Rauschwerte, zahlreiche Funktionen, sehr gut individuell abzustimmen, extrem schnell
  • das vollständige Programm zur Bearbeitung von RAW-Dateien kostet extra, die Blitz-Synchronisation dauert 1/200 Sekunde

  • Abstract:  När Nikon introducerade D200-modellen skapade företaget en helt ny klass för digitala spegelreflexkameror. Någon ny klass skapar förvisso inte Nikon med D80, men min bedömning är att den kommer att röra om lite i grytan hos vissa konkurrenter.D80...
