When my brother-in-law passed away a few years ago, I received his D80. Played around with it and it produced excellent photos. However, I'm a Canon person so I gave the camera to a fledgling photo student. The technology has increased dramatically since this camera was made. Would recommend using your money for a newer model.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. Looking forward to joining in the discussions.

I don't mind a nibble now and then. Yes, will have to post some pics soon.

I had 10 to 12 trays of slides I wanted to digitize. The final files didn't have to be of the highest quality, just good enough to send to family members. I set up a large white board to project onto and then placed the projector and camera facing the board. I made sure the room was completely dark... learned this was quite important. Copying was fast and easy. For those pictures that were important I edited and was happy with the results. There were some slides that I wanted higher quality, so I simply scanned them in my scanner. Worked for me.

Have enjoyed reading the discussions and topics for some time. Finally decided it was time to register. Long time photographer living in the suburbs of Detroit. Hello all!
