Canon 400D vs Nikon D80 vs Sony Alpha [Page 1]
better than 400D on a par with D80 at least).... My ranking in terms of how they stack up as an advanced amateurs cameras as opposed to entry level is D80, a100, 400D....

Nikon D80 vs Canon Rebel XTi [Page 1]
Also, if the D80s viewfinder is any bit bigger/brigter than the 400D, then that would get my vote hands down.... D80 is worth more than 400D, but maybe not $300 CDN....

"Unbiased" 400D vs D80 test ISO1600 [Page 1]
I'm just gonna make a wild guess, not really based on which is better, and say D80 is left and 400D is right.... But since you randomly shuffled the images back and forth, ill still say, on the first row, left is D80 and right is 400D....

400D vs. D80 [Page 1]
The D80 has a different 2 channel image processor than the D200 (4 channel) and the 400D has a new Canon sensor altogether.... Assuming the 400D has the same VF as the 350, that would be correct since we already know the D80 has the same VF from the D200....

Image Comp 400D vs. D80 [Page 1]
Other than that they look quite close with the 400D adding more sharpening and contrast while the D80 shots look more natural (just finish off with a little sharpening).... He has Nikon D80 which feels more comfortable to use (auto ISO - better quality feeling) but slower Autofocus than my 400D IMHO....

400D vs. D80 [Page 3]
If you consider the entire package (price, build quality, image quality, and features), the sequence would be D50, 350D, D70s, 400D, D80, 30D, D200, 5D, D2Hs, 1DIIn, D2xs, 1DSII.... I would suggest, though, that the new A100 slots in between the 400D and the D80, as evidenced by its price point....

D80 vs 400D vs A100 [Page 1]
I looked over both samples and thought that the D80 was well better than the Canon, but all of the comments in the thread were stating how much better the 400D was.... I find the D80 looking a bit better than the 400D....

tried 400d vs D80 viewfinder - Oh dear. [Page 1]
30D viewfinder is very nice ; not much smaller than the D80 , and just as bright.... 8 lens equal the brightness /view on a 400D as a kit lens on the D80?...

Losing it over d80 vs 400d [Page 5]
However, when comparing IQ, you MUST look at the RAW images, and with the D80 and 400D, there is hardly any difference.... D80 has a bigger view than 30D, and much much bigger than 350D, D70 and D50....

Nikon D80 vs Canon Rebel XTi [Page 2]
They are not the people in need of a D80, instead they're better off deciding between D50 and 400D....      Given this, in my mind, the D70s and D80 offered (and offer) a range of bodies that are in between the 400D and 30D....
