Just received new digital Nikon D80 with a Tamron 28-80mm lens. I have not inserted the battery yet (not charged). With lens attached, I look through the viewfinder and it looks fuzzy. Is there something wrong or do DSLR's need power to get a picture?

Put in the battery so the lens will focus. If it is still out of focus, the diopter ring might be set incorrectly for your eyes. This is a small wheel in the area of your viewfinder - or check your instruction manual. Basically turn it a few clicks until the image sharpens.

put it into manual focus (should be a switch on the body - haven't touched a d80 for while) and turn the front lens element and see if it focuses, if not do as nicole answered so well

While waiting for the battery to charge you can READ & STUDY the Owner's Manual that came with the camera. You'll then be able to answer your own question.

You said viewfinder NOT LCD
You should check to see if the eyepeice has a diopter adjustment dial.
If theres no diopter adjustment see a Doc. lol
