in terms of picture quality and noise control, do these 2 cameras have great difference? For the 2nd hand D80, the price is just around HKD3200-3500.....very attractive~~~
but CCD and CMOS....great differences in picture quality ma?
thanks ching~~~

i have the same question too, anyone can give us a hand ?

[B and H]

high ISO control, D90 ^_^

D80的感光元件是CCD，D90的感光元件轉用了CMOS。


以今天的科技，CMOS在低照明度的環境下表現較佳。

o, which mean d90 is quite alot better than d80, but its abit over budget for me.

how about a 2nd hand d80 or a new d60? which one will u recommend?

[王迦南]

D60須用AF-S鏡，否則要用手動。

若你不考慮使用較舊款鏡或不介意手動對焦/測光，可選擇D60。

i m new to dslr, thats ok for me.
so u mean if i af-s lens is the only lens i use, D60 will better than a 2nd hand D80? can u please tell me some more like how is better or why u suggesting D60?

actually my budget is about 7,8k nearly can get a D90kit, but i want to save some money from the body and get a better lens.
i aim to shot some fast objects like dogs or mountain bike racing etc. so i need a lens that can focus fast? any good suggestions? A16?

many thanks !!

I would recommend you to get a D80. The 2nd hand price is just unbeatable these days. Under usual lighting conditions, D80 is just as good as the D90.

Under harsh lighting condition, the D90 would perform better (i.e. not as worse as D80). The question is how likely would you shoot under harsh lighting condition.

D60 is an entry level camera. I won't recommend it if you are planning to shoot seriously.

actually, i am using D90~~the performance is very great~~~...but since i wanna hv much morre budget to purchase lens.....so i am thinking whether i should sell my D90 and buy a 2nd hand D80......since the price difference is around $2000~~~~then i can hv more budget to buy 70-300VR~~~~.....
but to all chings think.....once i hv tried D90.....if i change back to D80....is it possible for me to accept the noise control and picture quality since D90 no doubt is an more updated model which is using CMOS ?

[kelvin12345]

I won't recommend you to sell it. It doesn't seem to make sense to trade a brand new gear for a 2nd hand D80. Besides, most 2nd hand D80 is 2 -3 years old.

Yes i agree with Kelvin 12345 although. Do not sell the D90.
Although there has no big difference between them.
