Nikon recently released it's latest dSLR, the Nikon D80. It sports an impressive 10.2 Megapixel CCD imaging sensor and several notable upgrades from the D70. For one, the D80 has a brand new 12- bit high-resolution image-processing engine that combines color independent analog pre-conditioning with improved image processing algorithms.

The D80 can also start up in a flash; from off to fully responsive in only 0.18 seconds. The camera can shoot continuously at up to 3 frames per second, producing 100 consecutive JPEG images. When fully charged, the lithium ion battery can support the storage of up to 2,700 images.
