The 30D isn't a FF camera, it had a cropped sensor

Is the 30D much heavier than the D80 then? I have the 20D and think it is rather light

Re: Which Nikon would you get next?

Think I posted this on Dogsey for Azz a while ago but this guy does good reviews of Nikon (and Canon). It's a 'big' site so you'll have to search around a bit for what you want but there's some good comparrisons between different models and some great info in 'plain English'

100g isn't that much difference really, you should try holding the 1DS Mark 2, that weighs almost double what mine weighs (1215g).

Re: Which Nikon would you get next?

I have to admit that the D200 is the camera for me. Controls are easy once you get used to them. It also feels good in your hand; feel so natural although it does feel heavy with the MB-200 battery pack installed.
It also get my vote.
