The Nikon N80 is an advanced amateur 35mm auto/manual focus SLR film camera featuring a 5-point dynamic AF system, 10-segment 3D Matrix metering, and a top shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. Often called the "poor man's F100", it delivers high-end professional features in a lightweight, budget-friendly plastic body. The design turned out to be so successful that Nikon used it as the foundation for one their earliest digital SLRs -- the D-100 -- and Fujifilm did the same for their Finepix S-Pro series. Some key technical details are near the bottom of the ad. They only scratch the surface. You need your favorite search engine to get you the full story.

I've decided to finally get rid of most of my old collection of film cameras and various accessories. I haven't shot with this body in probably over 10 years, but the camera seems to work fine with a battery. By "fine" I mean the shutter, the film advance motor, auto-focus and flash work and the exposure system is appropriately responsive to variations of light. Of course, just because the shutter and metering systems respond to changing light doesn't mean the accuracy of those systems are up to factory spec. I would be surprised if that were true for any camera more than a few years old. But minor deviations -- especially with print film -- might not be noticeable or can be compensated for through the Exposure Compensation feature. It has a LOT of features so I haven't tested beyond the basic functions. One basic function I can't test without film is the actual film advance mechanism, but the advance motor actuates every time I fire the shutter so I'm fairly confident in that function. I have no intention of film testing. Not worth the trouble and expense to me. Batteries are included.

Physical condition is quite good. The rubberized coating on the grips isn't sticky. The viewfinder is clean. Lens is in similarly good condition.

Check out the "Sold" listings on ebay for this camera -- most of which are not film-tested either -- and I think you'll agree that this asking price is pretty fair. I thought it was weird that that average Sold price (factoring in any shipping charge) was higher for just a body ($77.05) than for one with a lens ($76.71)!
