The D80 is a much newer/better camera than mine. I have a Canon PowerShot A620 that I picked up when DSLRs first started coming out at stupid prices I wasn't about to pay. It does have a really good sensor inside (as with most canons) so picture quality is really good. The trick with these photos (most) is that they were taken in macro mode. Aka set the camera up to take extreme close ups. The focus is really narrow and the lens is pretty much sitting on the car. If I had her camera and took the same shot they would look even sharper. I'll stick up a shot that was taken normally at full resolution and you will see the quality is night and day. If she would like to give it a try just turn the dial on top of the D80 to the little flower looking icon, stick the lens up close on something and snap away.
