So I've got a little buyer's regret (I think I'm using the term right)...
I bought a Nikon D60 a couple months ago (yeah, i hear the anti-megapixel thing all the time), but my real regret is that i didn't drop the extra dough for the D80. The lens selection is just DRAMATICALLY better considering I want AF, and I really need a f/1.8 or f/1.4 with AF for low-light.
The way I look at it, the difference in the price of a new D60 and new D80 is less than the difference between the older "nifty fifty" f/1.8 50mm and the newer AF-S version, so i might was well figure out a way to upgrade to the nicer camera. the larger size (benefit for my bigger hands) and better control (two wheels/real buttons) are both gravy...
so the real question is...what's the most cost-effective way to make the transition? the camera and kit lens are mint (i'd rather not part with the lens, but if it's worth it i would). any input would be awesome. also, do you think i should consider going after a used D80? that would obviously cut cost as well (if you can't tell i'm a little broke-ish).
