After extensive research I have decided to go with the Nikon D40X. Smaller body than the D80, same MP and almost same features. Thanks for all that chimed in on the previous posts. [http://www.dpreview.com/news/0703/07030602nikond40x.asp](http://www.dpreview.com/news/0703/07030602nikond40x.asp) ---

[quote=“MicaH,post:12,topic:25829"”] nice, the d40x compares well with the D80 [/quote] Yes, it does. And what I really like about it, it has a smaller foot print. Doesnt feel so bulky which is what I like. ---
