I'm happy with mine. For me, it was the best choice for the money I was
wanting to spend.

I've got the D70, so you're getting the 'next gen' version, but I can't
say enough about it. It's a great stepping stone if you're looking to
get skills up so you can move on/up, and it's a solid camera all around
if you're looking to stick with it.

I have thought seriously about buying a D80 and did not do so for two
reasons: Dust reduction and Live View.

Both the D60 and D300 -- i.e. the newer models on either side of the D80 --
offer both of these features; the D80 offers neither of them. To me this
says that Nikon is going to have to replace the D80 by a new version (D80s?
D90?) that is similar to the D80 but does offer them.

The D60, in turn, is limited in that it works only with AF-S lenses.

So if I were going to buy a Nikon DSLR today, I would grit my teeth and buy
the D300, even though I don't need all of its capabilities and would rather
not spend that much money if I had a choice.

In two years of D80 use I have no dust problems. If a person has a
NEED for Live View then of course don't buy a D80. I personally cannot
imagine my being Live View deprived and find I could continue to take
pictures for the rest of my life without the Live View feature.
I'm sure there will by yet a newer version Nikon with features not
even thought of by present Nikon users. IF you are the type who MUST
have that gratification then prepare to buy a new camera a year or
suffer the "hardship" of not having the latest gadget.

I agree. I've had my D300 since it came out and experimented *once*
with Live View, I guess I'm old fashioned and simply like looking
through the viewfinder (all the info there,etc.,etc...)...my brother
owns a D80 and loves it.
