So I've been contemplating buying a second body and as much as I would like a D300 I just don't see it budget wise.
So my thought was to buy one of the many d200s coming on the market, but after reading the reviews and looking at the specs at Ken's and dpreview I feel like the D80 seems to make the most sense financially.
I currently have a D40 and I want to upgrade because of the lens compatibility issues. I feel like I would get a much bigger bang for the buck investing the difference in lenses than getting the d300 body and being tapped out. Likewise I don't see any major feature between the d80 and the d200 that I would miss and would rather invest that money into higher quality glass.
If you own one or the other or both, could you share your thoughts so I don't make a mistake by overlooking something.
Thanks.
