D200 v D80............... v Alpha100 ???

i REALLY wanted a D200...then Sony announced the Alpha, which has a CCD that
performs strangely like the Nikon's and works with my Maxxum lenses for 50%
less than the Nikon....

The D80 is just a refreshed D50...

The Alpha fits somewhere in between and outwardly looks to be a terrific buy..
then Canon upped the ante...

Its gonna be an interesting season...

I'm basically a film head... I have a little digi point and shoot but have
resisted buying an slr because of PRICE and mega-puke-cils. But the closer
they get to 16-20 mp and the farther they go under a grand, the more I'm
interested....

I suppose they are in different class targeting different customers.
However I look at the specs. and find the D80 is really catching up.
