I've had an N80 almost since it was introduced. I like it a lot.

The metering is good, the AF is good, and it is a nice small

camera (by AF+motor-drive standards).

You should know the N80 will not meter with non-AF lenses.

I believe you'll get the fastest AF with the fastest lenses.

So if you have a 50 f1.8, or something f2.8 or less you'll

get snappy AF performance.

My N80 has survived a few outdoor excursions in the rain, but

otherwise has had an easy life. No problems.

Good luck

I've noticed dust inside my N80 also. And of course the

reason I noticed it there was because of scratches on some

negatives (and prints).

I try to remember to blow the dust out whenever I change

a roll. My N80 may be more prone to dust than my N6006 was.

And I rarely have my camera in a very dirty environment.

(I may have run 120 rolls through my N80 so far)
