    Hi,

    I would certainly concider the D80 an excellent camera. I have the D200 myself and have had the D70s. There is an interesting comparison between the D80 & D200 & D2Xs on the Grays of Westminister (Nikon only camera shop in London) website if you want to get more info.

    Here is the link: D80, D200 & D2Xs http://www.graysofwestminster.co.uk/pdf/gazette/gaz61.pdf

    D80 & D200 only: http://www.graysofwestminster.co.uk/pdf/gazette/gaz60.pdf

    I have seen a comparison report between the D80 and the relevant Canon, Samsung and Pentax (I think) in a recent (may still be the current edition) of one of the Photography magazines and it rated the D80 as the best value thought it was not the cheapest of the test group.

    Hope this is of help,
    Declan

    I have a D80 and I love it.. that said, haven’t touched it in months because im using Nikon F80 and b&w film, will be back to it after christmas and am looking forward to it.

    It’s very easy to use and my course tutor told me “it’s the type of camera that would do you your day”
