D80 or S5?
As an all round camera for an advanced amateur there is no doubt that the
D80 and D200 will be better choices than the Fuji..
Pick the Fuji up with a lens attached and see if you want to walk around...

Problem w/ 50mm 1.8 lens (Nikon AF)
If you bought on Ebay you may be out of luck and have to learn to live with

quality is actually pretty good for printing up to 8.5x11. If you only view

New Nikon Lenses:
VR on a 16-85mm lens with 5.6 at the long end.
What is this world coming to?
