Answer 1

Nikon D80 is great

Answer 2

Get the D80, it's a much better camera, you might not have as much little quirks, but you certainly get better photographs, and less noise at the higher ISO ranges. here's a comparison for you to see:

The Nikon d80 is a mide-range professional camera, and the Nikon d6o is just a beginner, entry-level digital SLR

Answer 3

If you have $500, get the D40.  The D60 is a lot more money for not much more phone.

If you have $1000, get the new D90, which will be available in the next couple of weeks.  It replaces the D80 which is two years old now. The D90 benefits from a lot of new features and development.  It has a better (VR = Vibration Reduction) lens too.

Answer 5

Hey Joey,

If you have the money to back yourself up get the D80.

If not, just stick with the D40. The D60 is sort of a not really there camera but pay big bucks for it.

It sounds like you are just starting out in photography, the D40 is a very good start. As photographers know, the camera body is not so important as the lens. Lenses can cost $100-$3,000. Save some money to get a good lens instead.

Yeah, kenrockwell.com is a good site for you to start reading before you get into it, and even after you get into it.
