Rating: Summary: Exactly what I expected Review: This 60-minute long video is exactly what I expected it to be. It repeats a lot of the information that is contained in the camera's manual, but it also gives you what the manual can't - side-by-side comparisons of the same shot, taken with different settings, so you can understand what each feature can do for your photographs. The N80 is a great camera - priced for the amateur yet capable of professional-quality shots. This video can help you understand all of the features and get started using them more quickly.Of course, there are the Nikon plugs that you'd expect ... and, towards the end of the video it basically degenerates into an advertisement for speedlight (flash) attachments and additional videos.
