My First D-SLR, The Nikon D80.

Suddenly feel like trying out this new and expensive hobby so decided to look for a DSLR, a big black clumsy camera that has changeable lens (eye). I actually spend lots & lots & lots of time researching on brands and the two major brands i looked at is Canon & Nikon.


I finally aim to get the popular Nikon D80, RM2,800.00 body only (NEW) so decided to get 2nd hand D80 from this s'pore forum http://www.clubsnap.com. Its a very active forum and since my borther is in singapore so he deals with the seller for me. Things is cheap but shipping is the problem.

"Nikon D80 (Taken with Canon Digital IXUS 75)"

Finally got bought a 6 month old Nikon D80 body with Shutter Count of 2000k for S$800 = RM1,800.00.

AF-S DX Nikkor 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED VR @ S$250.00 = RM570.00 (Taken with D80 with Nikkor 18-55mmG2)

Bought another lens, Nikkor 18-55mmG2 ED lens when i realise that i don't have close lens and a Pop-Up Flash diffuser both for around RM330 and the lens still comes with warranty. As for the diffuser, it really helps. Well, See is believing.

Pop-Up Flash Diffuser on D80 (White thing that looks like the Cool-Fever for my D80) Diffuser @ RM30 (Taken with a Canon Digital IXUS 75)
