    What lens are you using? I know I can get wrinkles with my d80, much to some of the ladies dismay. Should work fine with a sharp lens such as the 50mm f/1.8,
    Here's one and with diligence could be better.

    What product is this as the camera never lies. Perhaps the product just does not work?

    All lenses on the D80 will capture wrinkles. For modelling shots and cosmetic adds there is a lot of post processing work that goes on to give that smooth look.

    Sounds like a technique issue to me. Maybe you can show us some sample photos? I think lighting is probably the key. You can do a lot to either enhance or erase wrinkles by changing your lighting. I know there's nothing wrong with the camera. One camera will capture wrinkles as well as another and the D80 is a fine camera.
