   Its like you’re reading my mind !!

   just last night I was browsing the web, looking for a smaller camera for my everyday life since the one I carry is too heavy.

   this one is a very good cam, handy and have great results.

   This link shows some pictures taken by it :

   Mark,

   I’m looking to buy a digital SLR camera and I have my eyes on the Nikon D80. What do you think? Also, what about prices? At Amazon it sells for $900-$1150 depending on the lens. Is it any better in Q8? Do they even have it here?

    Quick question: How much does it cost to ship stuff bought from Amazon? Never bought from them, would like to try and too lazy to check the site!

11. 11. Q8 Diviner | July 27th, 2007 at 7:10 pm

    If I may answer that Q,,

    this link compares the Nikon D80 with Canon 400D

    I would recommend 400D because :

    -lighter in weight
    -comes with a lens (nikon you buy body and lens separately )
    -has awesome results as in shots

    almost the same as the nikon D80 in the other specifications

    you can see the shots taken by it here

    http://www.flickr.com/cameras/canon/eos_digital_rebel_xti/

    and these are Nikon D80s’ shots

    ordering online is almost the same as the prices at Kuwait

    and sorry for being nosy X-)

    I would easily recommend the D80. Its a really great camera and has a lot of amazing features. You can either get the camera with a kit lens or body alone and you get to choose your own lens.

    I also wouldn’t use the two flickr links above to find out which is better the canon or nikon since it all depends on the photographer not the camera.

    check out dpreview.com or steves-digicams.com for a comparison.

    Also the Nikon dealer in Kuwait is better then the Canon and their prices are also better. The prices here aren’t as cheap as Amazon of course, its a much better deal buying online.

    The Nikon dealer is Ahraf, they have showroom in Souk Sharq and one in Mohallab and another in Salmiya near Marina Mall (Tel 5731372)

    Thanks Q8 and Mark,

    I saw the pictures and the Canon shots look nice, but the Nikon pictures look awsome! I can’t believe they were taken by a digital camera, even a Nikon SLR! I guess film is history now, even for pros.

    I’m sold on the D80 :) Now I have to shop around for the best deal. I will check the local dealer just to get a baseline. My only worry about ordering online is if the camera is defective for some reason, I will have to deal with the hassle of returning it.

    Thanks again guys.

    Mark,

    Will it survive in our extreme hot weather as you said you leave it in your car?

15. 15. Mark | July 28th, 2007 at 9:25 am

    well my car is never parked under the sun and when it is its only for a few hours so i couldnt tell u if it would still work if u park the car for 8 hours under the sun everyday

16. 16. naser m | July 29th, 2007 at 11:14 am

    sup mark, yeah well ur right u can NEVER go wrong with a Canon! they r absolutely the best in photography. Olympus comes second in line, why i fell inlove with the cam is that u can take pictures up 2 10ft underwater at high resolution, shock,wind,freeze proof bursting a 7.1mp, i just think its the best thing out there 4 a multipurpose point and shoot

    Guys, anybody using Sony Cyber-shot DSCw80? Hows it?

18. 18. Bo yamen | July 30th, 2007 at 8:22 pm

    I’m interested in buying this camera. I hope it will be good as you mentioned. Thank you Mike.
