.Net Jonesie - New Camera

Monday, October 09, 2006

We (actually my wife) purchased a camera on the weekend. It's a Nikon D80. We got it from Photo & Video International in Merivale Mall and I must say that they are without doubt the best camera shop in Christchurch - if not the whole of NZ. Very professional, very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. It's so refreshing finding real service again!

As for the camera, it appears to work very well. It has a quick shutter speed, is not too heavy - we got the 18-135mm lens so it's a bit heavier than the smaller lens - and comes with all the features we want in a SLR. The previous model, the D200 is a little faster if you are taking lots of rapid shots but otherwise the D80 is identical - same lens and chips - but is also cheaper by a few hundred bucks.
