Round 2: Features
Resolution, exposure and metering modes, image parameter controls
Just because they're inexpensive doesn't mean we'll accept any skimping on features. Amateurs learn to be pros by using the same set of tools, albeit at a different proficiency level and without some of the capabilities needed only in production environments.

The 10-megapixel resolution is a decent perk, but I'd settle for 8 megapixels and a spot meter. |
4
Canon includes some nice features, such as white balance bracketing, but it still won't give us a spot meter. |

Nikon D80 |
4
The D80 doesn't skimp on features to keep its price down. And I like that it uses SD rather than CompactFlash as a way of attaining its compact size. |
5
The D80 has so many features, Nikon should be worrying about its own D200. There's nothing to complain about here. |
