Well my 4GB SDHC card works fine with my D40. So hopefully should work on a D80. I bought mine off Amazon, great value.

Re: cant find a 4GB SD card !

I always go for 2gb cards.


BUT

I am sure the 'sdhc' is fine for your camera though but you could ring up your local jessops and ask if they have any in stock. If they say yes ask if they are compatable with the d80. I f they say yes say ' great I will pop in later'


then order on line for probably a third of the price.lol

Re: cant find a 4GB SD card !

SDHC just means Secure Digital High Capacity.

Some Nikon camera's aren't compatible with the higher storage cards, but I'm pretty sure that the D80 is.

As for Je$$ops I wouldn't s their advice on how to turn a camera on let alone anything else!! Got some horror stories about them and their "customer service"

Re: cant find a 4GB SD card !

I have three [jessops] near me well within 40 miles and they are all great.

In fact could not be more helpful and knowledgeable so as I said before it just depends where you are. Maybe I am just lucky.
