It has great resolution and the photos I take are wonderful. But in my opinion, I think that when you're looking for a camera, you should also have a look to its accessories, how is the offer, what are the prices. You can get real surprises if you don't look at that before. I find this camera wonderful. It has great resolution and the photos I take are wonderful.

In the end, I decided to go with the D80 and spend the CDN$900 I saved on the 18-200VR lens, instead. It's fantastic and will be good for 5-10 years, at least, while the D80/D200 will likely be obsolete in 3. Yeah, I would have liked some of the features of the D200, but the image quality is the same and that's what really counts. I debated a long time between the D200 and the D80.

It will be interesting to see whether Canon responds... The cool thing is, if the price wars continue between to two big players (Nikon & Canon) it will start to drive down the prices of the higher end models such as the D80, D200 and to a lesser extent the D2Xs. Althought the D2Xs is a PRO camera aimed a niche market so prices there probably won't change much. I'm currently a D70 man and hoping to become a D200 man in the not-so-distant future!
