Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Nikon D80, which was introduced in September 2006 is a Advanced DSLR camera with a 10.0MP APS-C sensor whereas FujiFilm S1600, which was introduced in February 2010 is a Small Sensor Superzoom camera with a 12.0MP 1/2.3-inch sensor. As you can see, D80 is 4 years older than S1600. Let's see if this age difference between two cameras makes a big difference.
Comparing a DSLR camera to a Fixed Lens camera is not an easy task but we will do our best to make this a fair comparison.
Here is a brief look at the main features of Nikon D80 and FujiFilm S1600 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
