Deal of the Day - 12/6/08

Hello All,

Abes of Maine is selling the Nikon D80, with a lens and a free 4GB memory card for $756.95 shipped to your door. You can use code LOYALTY10 for an additional $10 off. There is an alternative deal with the code DINE200. This code gives you a $100 gift card for select restaurants.

You can find the camera deal here.

I went back and forth for a couple months between the D80 and the XTi. I choose the XTi because is was about half of the cost at the time, and it has several anti-dust features including the vibration mechanism. The D80 is technically a better camera, and you can use older Nikon lenses on it, as it has an auto focus motor in the body. This allows you to buy great 35mm lens that are older and less expensive, and get incredible pictures.

You can find reviews of the D80 here, here, and here.

One last pitch for this camera, my friend Bob has it and loves it.

The convenient size of SD Cards might ultimately trump the fact that I wholly trust CF and I am still not sold on SD. Not sure about that one yet.

Later,

John
