Stunning Photos with the Nikon D80
For those of you haven't visited the stunning Nikon site yet, we highly recommend it. Nikon got 16 photographers together for an online and print ad campaign, and gave them a Nikon D80. (Yes, I feel sick, too.) The photographers all contributed images that were taken with the new Nikon DSLR and also took self portraits in a mirror. (It's a little humorous to see the backwards "nokiN" logos in all of the self portrait shots.)
In addition, some of the photographers participated in a more in-depth "documentary" of sorts; the photographers themselves were filmed and interviewed while they put the Nikon D80 through its paces.
Besides the print ads that are now coming out, Nikon has combined the photographers' work with the D80, the self portraits, and the interviews into a Flash site at http://www.stunningnikon.com/dslr/. And while the photos included on this site are great examples of the amazing images that are possible with this camera (not to mention what can be created when you allow a group of extremely talented people loose), the interviews are my favorite part of the StunningNikon site.
Here's why:
The Nikon D80 digital camera is one of our favorite cameras of the year. Not only does it set a new value point for digital SLR's, but the D80 is feature-rich, lightweight, and takes incredible photos. It is truly a pleasure to photograph with, and this is what the Stunning Nikon film clips and the photographers' interviews demonstrate. To watch them photographing -- spying a shot and then snapping away just a couple of seconds later -- is inspiring. It shows that great shots are all around us if we keep our eyes open, and that, with the right camera, even fleeting shots can be captured easily.
Personally, it makes me want to carry my digital cameras everywhere with me.

On the stunning nikon website now are the pictures from Georgetown using the D40. How do I find out how many maga pixels did these cameras have since the d40 comes in two strenghts.

The newer D40 section of the Stunning site was created with the original, 6.1 megapixel Nikon D40, not its bigger brother, the 10.2 megapixel Nikon D40X. The two DSLRs are essentially the same, with the number of megapixels captured being the basic difference; for the extra resolution the D40X carries a price tag approximately $200.00 higher than the D40. Both digital cameras take excellent photos, and the less expensive D40's lower resolution is still sufficient to provide "photo quality" enlargements up to 8x10 inches.
