Just destroyed my D80
Aug 29, 2017 08:22:36 #
I have a complete D90 kit with a 2 lenses
and a couple of batteries.
Bought a D750 last year and have been thinking of
letting it go.
I'd have to check shutter count and confirm all
in good working order as I removed batteries and
put it away.
Any interest ??

Hi the D 40,40x,60,and the 5000 series and 3000 series do not have a AF motor built in the camera body and they need a ( AF_S ) type lens but if I am right all the others have a AF motor built in the camera body and all the Nikon lenses can be used even old film as long as you set the F/stop to F/22 then the camera and lens will communicate with each other the other cameras will work fully but you will need to manually focus but everything else works this is on the D40,40x,60 3000 and 5000 series .I don't know anything about P lenses. one of the nice things about using the older film lenses they have a 1.5 factor and work like a longer lens ( example 100mm works like a 150mm lens ) Howie

Strange someone would tell you that, the lenses I bought for my FM still work on my digital Nikons!

I upgraded from a D50 to a D300 several years ago. All my lenses work on both cameras. I suspect you can include the D100-D300 series in the lens compatibility family.

The D200 is pretty much a better dressed D80.
Personally, I would go with a D7100 or better to replace the D80.

Even a D-7000, which can be had for about $350 used would be a really nice upgrade as far as low light abilities over the D-80.
I still use mine a LOT. At least you would know that you can use any of your autofocus lenses on it.
If you have a better budget, you can't go wrong with the D7100 OR D7200. Believe it or not, I'd take either one of those over a D7500. The main reason being, they did away with the second card slot. Once you've lost a lot of photos because of a bad card, you'll appreciate how important having 2 slots with one set to back up really is.

Definitely look for a weather-resistant body and lens whatever the choice(s).

Did the same thing with my D70 in Oak Creek. Everyone said it was recycle material. Instead I wrote a nice letter to Nikon and sent it and the lens to them. They repaired the D70 and provided a replacement lens at a discount. I cannot promise you the same but it is worth the try.

You have my sympathy - our daughters routinely kid me about the three cameras I've ruined by getting them too wet. Of course, they should be a little cautious, because the first occasion was during a romantic walk with my fiance - the woman who would become their mother in future years. After walking around a reservoir with uncertain footing, just about dusk we reached the river feeding the reservoir ... and discovered what everyone else in town apparently knew - that the bridge was out - so we gamely "forded" the river. I was 5'11" and she was 4'10" - the water was nearly 5' deep, and when we got to the other side our celebration was cut short by the realization that the camera hanging from my neck had been dragging in the water. Oh well, that was 38 years of marriage ago.

Buy a used, low shutter count D300. You'll love it. Your lenses will work. It's built like a brick and makes great photos. Pura Vida

Thanks for the information. It solved my problem. I took you advise and went for a D7000. After reviewing the written word on it I thank it will be the answer.
Thanks again.

If the accident was a few days ago, your camera may be able to be saved. Check with repair facilities. Tempe Camera in AZ. does free estimates. They may even be able to tell you over the phone whether it's recoverable based on their knowledge of your camera model. >Alan
