d60-> d80 worthy upgrade or wait a few years to upgrade to d90?

Uhh... hasn't the D80 been discontinued for months?

d90 is the new one. i bought the d80 ages ago and that was about half way through product life

no. they aren't in the same category. did D3 prices drop when the D90 came out?

No, the D80 price already dropped when the D90 came out. The D80, (if you like it's exposure metering system) is a great buy right now

Darn happy with mine, I have had it just going on a year now. takes all my old Nikon glass, and works like a champ.

Not because of the D5000, that's a D40/D40x/D60 replacement. The D80's replacement was the D90.
