Don't know if you read my last post, but I said I had read that it's 300 quid in my last post. 300 British pounds. Maybe you misread the £ symbol as a $ symbol by accident. I don't know. Again, I had checked DCResource for the American price, but Steve's Digicams also reports $485 US dollars. I'm regurgitating info that's available at some of the main camera sites, although who knows......maybe they won't retail for $485.
Crystal?

The D80 kit lens is the 18-135 right? And it is only 300 more right? Maybe that's how I thought it was only $300. Sorry.
By the way found the 18-135 for $399 on WolfCamera.com
Just a heads up to anyone.
By the way....is anyone planning on buying this....it seems to be getting really good reviews. If it's anything close to the D200 it's going to be unreal.

I don't think there are anything other than previews right now, and no reviews on performance. Although it uses the same CCD sensor as the D200 and Sony Alpha-100, I doubt the photos coming out of it will be the same simply due to the processing differences.

See obsolescence.
Kinda glad I held onto my D100 for awhile longer now, don't feel bad trading up.
I played with a D80 earlier this week. I was surprised to see one in a shop as I expected them to be rare at this stage. Perhaps this time Nikon have ramped production early and learnt their lesson?
Anyway, naturally it felt really nice to handle. Shame it's still a plastic body (although the salesman tried to tell me it was "magnesium alloy", and "technology" er, OK ), although it feels fairly dense - a bit more so than a D50.
I'm straining at the leash not to buy one, although I'm already down on a pre-order list. I have a feeling prices will tumble from the RRP quite quickly and availability won't be too bad. Perhaps a good reason to hold off for now...

Multi Exposure, or Image Overlay?
Was the original comment about Multiple Exposure, or Image Overlay? Both are different. Multiple Exposure is as you would expect from film days, whereas Image Overlay allows you to take 2 raw images and mix them together setting the amount of dominance each has in the final image. The resulting image is then stored away as new image. The D200 has this function.
