What a nice camera,.. I was checking out the Nikon D80 at a local mega store a few days ago when this camera caught my eye. The Nikon D300 looks and feels amazing. The LCD display is amazing as well- very crisp. The price is pretty steep but now is a horrible time to buy a D80 and I know that I will grow into this camera over time. Now all I need is $1800.
