    @ Jamby — Don’t worry about that.. as long as your D80 suits your needs (and it still works)it isn’t really a problem if the next guy has 2000 AF points.. If you took great shots with your gear before, you will still get great shots now no matter what Nikon releases.. (again assuming your gear still works)

    Of course when your D80 dies, or IF your needs change, then it makes sense to get the best you can afford na.. which might very well be this camera..

    39 point AF-System???

    This F^%#ing camera just made my D80’s 11 point AF OBSOLETE.

    The 39 AF-point, new sensor and the dual SD slots are tempting. I’m going to save up for this to replace my primary body.

    if im not mistaken, mas nauuna pang magkaruon sa pinas kumpara sa u.s.

    nikon has a factory in thailand. pagdating sa nikon shipment sa sg at hk, kasunod na agad ang r.p. ;-)

    sa amerika, kapag ibinarko from thailand (longer time compared here in south east asia).

    and of course, i could also be wrong;-)

    I agree with sir Abe, D90 is still the best bang for the buck.

    With the release of D7000, hoping that the price of D90 will go down. By then, I’ll sell my D5000 and get a D90 :)
