I have a D80 & a D50 and i can say that if you want to take good quality pictures it’s extremely easy with the D80,one or two looks through the relevant settings page in the manual & your away,i use a sigma 70-300 apo lens & it does bare sharper images than the standard nikon equivlant,it’s huge value for money too at €250(~£160?),i got my D80 body off ebay from one of the hong kong sellers(really good value),plus they gurantee no tax from the UK.
