no point comparing too much of facts...at the end of the day, how u feel when u hold the camera n wat u expect from a camera decides which u wanto buy....

to TS: go for D80 ler since budget is not a problem..

advantages:
1. better control of your camera
- a few easy-to-reach shortcut such as WB, ISO, QUAL, continuous, metering, AFmode..
- 2 rollers - one for shutter speed.. one for aperture(dunno is it call roller or dial)..
- small LCD panel on top of the camera is almost a must for u to easily control the setting..

2. Kelvin mode in WB
- this is very useful as u can set the WB by color temperature.. for more ask shinchan^^ tongue.gif kekeke...

3. support AF in wider range of lens..
- while D40/D40x just support AF-S otherwise u need to ManualFocus..
- very useful when u buy 50mm f/1.8 tongue.gif

4. 18-135mm lens vs 15-55mm lens tongue.gif

5. easier to hold..

so far this is wat i can think of.. will add if can think of any.. smile.gif

Iso 200 > Iso 100
6mp > 10mp
D40 logo > D40x logo

all for rm300+ extra
