One of the key advances developed for the D80 is its high-resolution image processing en-
gine. At its hear t is a dedicated new high-performance processing chip that greatly accelerates
performance on all levels, while also consuming less power than its predecessors. It also inherits
advantages developed exclusively for Nikonʼs latest professional digital SLR cameras, combining
color independent analog pre-conditioning with improved 12-bit digital image processing algorithms.
The result is natural-looking images that benet from faithful color and tone reproduction. The level
of performance attained allows the new engine to rapidly and efciently process the 10.2 megapixel
resolution images captured by the DX Format CCD image sensor.
