TPF Noob!
Long time 35mm guy getting my toe into the digital world, figured a inexpensive used D80 would be a good starter.
Picked it up yesterday, came with bag, two lens, two batteries. I had a bunch of errands to run so I didn't have much time to play with the camera, but of course when I did have a few minutes I chased the cats around and snapped a few shots just to get a feel (a little overwhelmed by all the buttons so just left everything in auto).
I got off about 35 shots most with flash (shooting indoors) and after that the battery (seller said she charged both batteries) was down to one bar, is that normal?
I see batteries on Amazon are $22 for two so I guess not that big of a deal.
Also the battery door seems to pop open with out warning in normal handling, could be my fault for not sliding the button to secure but is that a normal?
