I have been bugging about for weeks now, reading endless reviews to try and decide between the Nikon D200, Nikon D80 and Canon 400D... I have a budget of £830 and would obviously be going the second hand route, tho I could afford a new D80 with a lens. The D200 would be pushing me a bit and I would only be able to afford a body and would have to use my current AF lenses from my old F60. I have not ever used a Canon and so have no idea how they handle. I have never liked the plasticky look of some of the bodies on them. I have tried holding both the D200 and D80, and the D200 felt bulky and seemed to stretch my hand a little, while the D80 fit comfortably, but I have heard the D200 is somewhat superior to the D80 in spite of having almost, and I say almost identical technical credentials. I have also read a thread here where someone complained of getting soft images with the D80...are there any D80 users here?
I have yet to try a Canon in my hand.
I am stuck between getting a D80 with lens, a D200 body or trying a Canon D400 and hoping it suits me.
