Well the D80 body's are going for quite cheap if you get the imported one, dipping below RM2,900 already.

i will vote for D80 instead of 400D bcoz of

1. 2 dialer (control aperture/shutter separately)
2. mini LCD on top for easier navigation
3. adjust temperature in Kelvin (something to play with:P)
4. better handling
5. bcoz its nikon.. kekeke

but seriously.. i dont like the kit lens.. i hv seen some pair it with the tamron 2.8 as u mentioned.. and it produces very nice quality!

good luck!

I'm planing to buy a dslr, i have 2 choice..
1st choice:
Canon 400D + Tamron 17-50 f2.8
2nd choice:
chose D80 instead of 400D???

So any opinions???
*
Your second choice seemed to be a QUESTION instead. With the price difference between the D80 and 400D, you can save so much cash in return for some other stuff ... if MONEY is your concern. Try asking around for the EOS 30D instead if you wanna compare spec2spec against the D80, let us know your result.

Then there's still plenty of time. Chances are the D80 might already been replaced and 350D obsolete laugh.gif

400D has less noise in High ISO.
80D has better colour contrast & features.

I said 'chances are'. You'll never know what's under Nikon's sleeve, remember the D70 issue? D70 owners were caught by surprise by the D70s' announcement only months after the D70. The announcement of the D50 caused another stir when people thought it's replacing either D70 or D70s, haha! The D300 was a big welcome though ...
