Just can't decide between the 2 for general purpose photography. I
would like to shoot some outside low speed sports and am looking for
the most up to date technology. Can't really read any reviews that
make my mind up. Also would possible consider the D90, but I think
that's too much camera. Any thoughts. thanks group. moving up from a
Canon S3

I would not get either. I would look at the D90. You might as well get
the latest in technology since they do last a long time. I would also
consider the Canon Rebel XSi. I like the feel of it better. And for a
little more money the Canon 50D would be my first choice. Each of those
cameras are in a different price range.

If you want to get older Technology then I guess the D80 would be OK but
the D90 is so much improved. I would stay away from the D60.

Agreed, and the D80/90 have bigger brighter viewfinders.

That is true but for some reason I personally found the finder of the
Canon more pleasing and easier to views than the D90 when comparing them
side by side. Maybe it was the diopter control but I really do not know
why.

Viewfinders have differences in how close you have to press your eye to
see the whole screen, that may be it, I don't know the numbers.
