The Nikon D80 is a digital single-lens reflex camera model announced by Nikon on August 9, 2006. [1] The camera shipped the first week of September to US retailers. Considered by many[ who? ] to be a hybrid of design elements of the entry-level D50 and high-end D200 cameras, it occupied the same price bracket the Nikon D70 did at the time of its release. It was replaced by the Nikon D90 in August 2008.
