    Dimensions (W x H x D)
    Approx. 132 x 103 x 77mm (5.2 x 4.1 x 3.0 in.)
    Weight
    Approx. 585g (1lb 5oz) without battery, memory card, or body cap or monitor cover

    Furthermore I have following lenses :
    • Nikkor AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70 / 3.5-4.5 G IF-ED
    • Nikkor AF Zoom 70-210 / 1:4
    • Tele lens with Macro function and seceral extra filter (it has no processor in it, so I have to use it manually)

    The last two are from my father and are from his analogue Nikon photocamera.  But after testing it seems that these still working on the D80 as this SLR has backwards compatibility for it's lenses.  This made me very happy.

This weekend I went to the Belgium photowalk in Hasselt organized by Jan Tielens.  You can find my first pictures in my Flickr album.
