Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

it's compatible with the d1, and d300, so i imagine that it would be compatible with the Nikon d80, after all, they have the same hot shoe mounts!. But, i have a question for you:

Why spend so much on a speedlight!?

you can use this:

The AF SB-800 it's around three hundred dollars, and a few cents more!. It can be used wireless!. So, you don't have to spend so much on the SB-900!. You can use the extra money to buy a lens!.

You can go even cheaper:
http://www!.amazon!.com/Nikon-SB-600-Speed!.!.!.
This is the SB- 600, it's under two hundred dollars, also, it can be used wireless with a command trigger too!. So, they are all nice flashes!. You don't have to spend so much! but, if you want to, go ahead, i'm sure it's a good flash!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah, sure it's compatible - for $500!. Personally, I can't justify spending that kind of scratch on a flash that would be no more useful [to me] than the SB-600 (which I use with my D80)!. You wan't my advice!.!.!.!.!.!.if you shoot with a D80, you probably don't need the SB-900!. So save yourself $300, buy an SB-600, then buy yourself another lens!. The 600 works very well on the D80!.

(everyone will have to excuse my lack of interest in the "new" SB-900 - for $500, I'm so not impressed)Www@QuestionHome@Com
