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 Samsung HZ25W, which was introduced in July 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 HZ25W. 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 Samsung HZ25W before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on the following sections in order to better understand in detail how Nikon D80 and Samsung HZ25W compares and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
