I just preordered the new Nikon D80. It was just announced today, and I wanted to get on the list early.

Knowing Nikon's production schedule, I ought to see it sometime in October.

The D80 is really quite an improvement. Nikon has taken most of the good points of the D200 and fit them into a body the size of a D70. It's got a 10.2 megapixel sensor, includes "Commander Mode", and shoots 3 frames per second. Much like the D50, it uses SD memory rather than Compact Flash. That's a plus for me.

I'll post updates when it arrives.
