Is it comparable with the D800?

Yes, and works beautifully. Get the new version the 910 if you can. It's better and doesn't overheat like the old 900 did. I use it all the time with my D800. I also use an external battery pack (Quantum Turbo 3) for quicker recycle time. With or without the battery pack, it's the best flash for the D800.

Yes, the SB900 flash works very well with the D800 camera. That is the exact set up that I use and I love it.

In same boat, Bob. I'm buying the D80. Cheaper, and less weight/bulk. I test drove a 30D and did not like the ergonomics. Have been waiting for a D70s replacement, and it's here!

The Nikon P80 is the only thing I can think of...sorry for the way late response.

The reviews I have seen (the in-depth for real ones, not the ones on sales sites) talk about the P80's lens slowness while trying to take pictures. I'm sure it's not as slow as the old (3-4 years ago) digital cameras but evidently it is a glaring issue in certain light situations. I am a Nikon shooter for over 30 years and have D200 DSLR now which I am very happy with, but I bought a FZ28K for a trip to Paris and am so far very happy with it. The iA mode is really pretty amazing - great exposure in almost all situations.

From what I can tell, the d60 is only the d40x with minor upgrades. There is no preview button, and the info that sits on the top of the d80 is squeezed onto the back lcd. It is the same size as the d40, however, it does feel more sturdy. I can't really say why, it might be from a few more ounces in the VR lens, i'm not sure. It does only get the three focus points. But I'm not sure about the speed flash question. If you're looking to upgrade your current camera, go for the d80 as the 60 is only a bit different than the 40.

If you`re asking D800E vs Compact Camera, you should leave the room immediately :) This like asking Bentley vs Chevrolet Sonic :)

I bought a D610, but it was a gift for my husband, so I really can't compare. You could ask him if you want, <smith@lightlink.com>

It's compatible with my D60, so my guess is that it would be fine with a D80.

I have two SB-910's, no problems. Much better refresh time than the SB-700 I have. I will keep up with the D800 fps with no problem.

D800E was designed for professionals and enthusiasts in mind. So the D800E is not on the same class as compact camera. If you just need a camera for taking pictures at the picnics or flipping burgers in your backyard, a compact camera would do just fine.

I am pretty sure it will not autofocus on the D80.......does the D80 have a built in motor? so I would say only in manual mode

I would say yes, it is comparable. But Windows 8 just isn't for me. However, if you like the D250, then you will also like AO756 model.

Frank: the single greatest difference between the two (other than price and weight) is the frame rate. If your shooting does not require 11fps as it might for birds in flight, high speed sports or photojournalism, then the D810 is a great choice.

If money is not a factor, the D60 is a better camera. However, the D40 is so much cheaper for only slightly less functionality, so the price difference is hard to justify. If you want to spend more money, go for the D80 instead of the D60.

I have a Nikon d80 and it works great with that. Definitely better than the built in flash and is ok as a professional. If you are in photography I recommend springing for a little more expensive one and a soft box or defuser.

Hi, I don't know the d800 size. What I can say is that it carries my d5200 easily. It's a spacious case bag.

I use this lens with my D800 with great success. It will show some flare now and then, but it has marvelous resolution. I use it on a tripod when working indoors since it has no VR, but outdoors not so much. Keep in mind that with the high pixel count of the 800, tripod work with the mirror up technique is important to get the full resolution the lens is capable of.
