also sold as Nikon N80 (USA)

Nikon logo 80 SLR 35mm AF 1984

The Nikon F80 (or N80 on the US market) is a 35mm SLR camera introduced by Nikon in 2000.

The F80 was targeted at the ‘prosumer’ market - based on the highly successful F100 model but without its weatherproofing or ruggedness.

The F80 accepts all F-mount Nikkor lenses with the exception of many pre AI, and all IX, lenses (these cannot be mounted on the F80 without causing damage). Older non-CPU AI and AIS lenses can be mounted on the camera, but exposure must be set manually as the camera will not meter through them at all.

Two variations of the Nikon F80 were also produced, the F80D, which has date-printing capabilities, and the F80S which, in addition to the date, can also imprint exposure data between frames.

Production of the F80 ended in 2009, alongside most other cameras in Nikon's film range.
