ByTom has reviewed the 10.2 megapixel Nikon D80 and writes, ” I’ll repeat what I said earlier: we now have four 10mp DSLRs in basically the same class, with similar feature sets. All of them perform well, and the differences between them in terms of image quality are almost non-existent at ISO 100. At higher ISO values, the image quality differences start to become more obvious (note that I haven’t yet tested the K10D using my usual test suite, so I won’t comment on its image quality). To my eye, the D80 is at the top of the heap with the Canon close behind (the Canon tends to sacrifice shadow areas and lose color saturation at the highest ISO values). The Sony falls clearly behind the others at high ISO values. But even with the differences, I’m not sure they’re enough to base a buying decision on. If you’re nitpicking pixels so much that you can see these differences, you probably should be shopping for the next better class of camera.”
