Re: Think I've made my mind up about a new camera.

Certainly coming down in price !

I'm doing nothing till the end of June so I suspect there's better D200 deals to be had.

That said - Unless I go for the D300 (which raises the bar body & spec wise) I still feel pound for pound the D80 (with a better lens) is a more attractive offer than the same '£' D200.
Kit 1
Canon 1D Mark 3
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Kit 2
1D2 & 40D

Re: Think I've made my mind up about a new camera.

Yeah the D80 is a cracking camera too, no doubt

I am going to wait too, I kindof don't want to get anything less than a D300, and don't mind waiting a year for that (prices to come down) and in the meantime I am happy with what I have, and may even get some more lens.

Great that you know the importance of the lenses Azz.

I'd jump at a D80/D200(body only) but cant help feel spending half as much on a lens for my D50 would make do.
