Released 2000 as the consumer-tier successor to the N70 (1995). Production ran 6 years until 2006. The N80 was effectively the film camera that became the D70 / D100 digital body — Nikon used the same chassis architecture for the digital crossover bodies.
For 2026 buyers, the N80 at $50–150 is one of the best-value modern Nikon film bodies. Lighter than the F100, modern AF, modern metering, and full PASM. The trade-off vs F100: slower top shutter (1/4000s vs 1/8000s), polycarbonate body (less robust), no battery grip option.
It's the cheapest entry into Nikon AF film with modern lens compatibility. Combined with a $50 50/1.8 AF-D, you have a $150 complete Nikon film kit.
F-mount: AI / AI-S meter (manual focus), AF / AF-D fully compatible, AF-S works fully. MF-22 data back. Speedlight SB-28 / SB-600 / SB-800 with full TTL.
