"Shooter"
I like the D80, but it does require some tweaking to get the best out of it. The metering on it is kind of temperamental, and it has a tendency to overexpose, which I don't like. Also, the Auto-ISO on both the D50 and the D80 have given me trouble, so I set the ISO manually (which is the default, by the way). So if you leave Auto-ISO off as it come from the factory, your pictures will be much more predictable with results. I also shoot with exposure compensation set at -.7 to a full -1 and it seems to be MUCH better. Not to deter anyone from the D80, every camera has it's quirks. I just seem to have some that effect me more than it might other shooters.
The 18-200 is running about $750 here. I think I paid about that for mine.
