Well, to be 100% sure, which lenses are we talking about?

Why? Do you know even one lens, of any manyfacturer that fits D80 but no
D200?

I cannot imagine any lens that works on the D80 that will not work
exactly the same on a D200.

None whatsoever.
All the features of your D80 lenses will work exactly the same
on a D200.

The only thing that puzzles me is why you want to replace the
D80 with a D200 now? IMHO, the D80 is a very capable camera.
The successor of the D200, called D300, has just been announced,
and will (supposdly) be available in shops in November, but will
probably be in short supply until January. Why don't you
keep using your D80 until January, and then get the D300?

There is of course nothing wrong with the D200, but on paper
at least, the D300 looks even better. In particular the new
AF module looks sweet.. Since you already own a very good
camera, you should not be in a hurry to replace it (but it
is your money).

Agreed 100%. I downgraded from the D80 to the D40 to wait for the D300.
Don´t forget: 2 x lifeview, 3" VGA screen, 6.5 to 8 fps, etc.

In addition, the D200 can meter with MF Nikkors, of which
there are many excellent ones available at good prices used
(and the D80 cannot meter with these...).

No, I remembered people discussing old (pre-AI) lenses fitting onto
the D40 but not on other models, and got confused.

" Since you already own a very good camera, you should not be in a

hummm...good point.....i will give that some thought....the stpe up in
features from 200 to
300 is significant, ea?
