The D80 looks to be a great camera for the experienced amature to the professional. As an amature, I've been looking at the D50 with some quality lenses, as I like the feel, picture quality, ease of use, and use od SD cards. It appears that Nikon has me in a bind as the D80 is everything and way more.
To the person who said they'd never use SD cards: high speed cards can be purchased for either SD or CF cards, but the average read/write speed on a standard SD card is 1.67 times faster. But the big improvement is that SD cards use less power to read and write the same amount of information, which equates to a longer battery life. Hmmm, faster and more pictures per charge...sounds like a winning combo to me. No wonder Nikon went SD with the D80.
