    "The best DSLR for around $1,000." on by best4less

    Pros: Quick focus/instant on/excellent picture quality/smart design

    Cons: Basic software and user manual/few accessories available.

    Summary: The Good:
    a). Excellent picture quality;
    b). Can focus quickly in almost any light situation (and I love the instant startup);
    c). Buttons and menu access are always in the places they should be (except the AE-L/AF-L button I wish it was in somewhere my left hand can easily access to);
    d). The camera (w/ the 18-135mm lens) is heavy, but you can hold it very omfortably.
    e). Long lasting rechargeable battery. Though I don’t believe it will give you 2,700 shots per charge. But, unless you are a professional photographer, I doubt you ever need a backup battery for this camera.
    The Bad:
    a). Few accessories available for this camera; also, I wish I can find a better case than the Nikon CD-D80 Semi-Soft Case.
    b). The user manual and included software (PictureProject) are pretty basic. I wish Nikon provides a more in depth reference book and a better piece of software.

    I ran through close to a dozen of digital cameras from Epson, Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Toshiba, and Kodak etc. since they were introduced. It looks like D80 will be the one I am going to keep for a while.

    I have seen and fiddled with almost every DSLR (in store) except the Canon Eos 1Ds Mark II (couldn't find it) which is ridiculously overpriced, and this is the camera I'm going with. The perfect lens and body combination, the perfect camera, 1st class optics and user comfort.. I adore it. Nikon is the only way to go, at least for me. Nikon D80 is the king of the DSLR world at the moment at a reasonable price in my opinion (I can't afford cameras like the Mamiya ZD or a Hasselblad or an Eos 1Ds Mark II, this is the second best for me.)
