As the replacement for Nikon's popular D70s, the new 10.2-megapixel Nikon D80 has some big shoes to fill. After all, the original D70 became a backup body for lots of professionals when it first came out, and while the D200 is likely to fill that role now

Though it's priced higher than Canon's Digital Rebel XTi and Sony's Alpha 100, the Nikon D80 delivers a lot of extra bang for the buck. In fact, users who are considering the Canon EOS 30D will want to take a close look at this camera.

Review Verdict: Users of the D70s will be impressed by the D80's new design. It's significantly smaller than the D70s, yet still very comfortable to hold, thanks to its textured finish, large handgrip, and sturdy metal body. Experienced Nikon shooters will feel right at

The Nikon D80 digital SLR is the successor to the company's highly regarded D70 and D70s models. It features a 10.2-megapixel CCD, large 2.5-inch screen, and an improved 11-point autofocus system.

Review Verdict: While the new Nikon lacks the built-in image-stabilization of the Alpha and the sensor-cleaning option of both the Sony and Canon EOS 400D, neither system is infallible. The D80 doesn't come bundled with a RAW-editing package either, but if you're in the

The Nikon D80 is the long-awaited replacement the the best-selling D70 and D70s digital SLRs. It's basically a D200 with a slightly different CCD sensor (though still 10 Megapixel) and a slower burst rate. And at $999 for the body only and $1299 with the

Review Verdict: Something else you'll need to pick up is a memory card. Unlike the D70's before it, the new D80 uses Secure Digital (as well as high capacity SDHC cards), and I'd suggest a 1GB card as a good starter size. Buying a "high speed" card is absolutely a good i
