It will take Nikon mount lenses. However, if your lenses are older and do not include the automatic exposure linkage required by the newer Nikon cameras, you will have to send them to Nikon to be modified. Then, yes the lenses will work on the N80 in a manual mode.The 13.7 megapixel camera is marketed by Kodak because they make the solid state imaging device. It uses a specially made version of the N80 body that only is sold to Kodak. The nice thing about this new camera, is that the imaging device is the same size as a 35mm frame so the lenses give the same angle of view (magnification) as they do with 35mm film.
For the resolution and performance of the camera, it is "affordable" at around $4 - $5K. The original Kodak cameras based on the N90 body (5-6 years ago) with far less resolution cost around $10K. You can see the camera on the Kodak website - www.kodak.com under the digital imaging section.
