Nikon will introduce the new D-60 digital slr on 11/2/06 in NYC. It will replace the D-50. It will have 10.2 mp, and the image quality will be the same as the D-80 and the D200. It should sell for about $599.00 without lens. It will have a few less features than the D-80. I was saving up for the D-80 with the new Nikkor 18mm-200mm lens, but I think I will wait and read the reviews on this one. It will be available for sale in December. Boy, what a nice Christmas gift, want my address? (kidding of course) Just posted this in case anyone else was thinking about getting the D-80. Hope it helps.
