[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 23799, member: 6351"] Yes. While the D80 was a fine camera in it's day - it has been surpassed in more than just video capability by the D90 (truth be told the video implementation isn't that great). For example, the D90 can shoot at much higher ISOs without objectionable levels of noise creeping into the image. Of course the D80 can still take great images, but the D90 does offer a lot more in terms of features and performance (that's why it's more expensive! :)) Only you can decide if the extra money is worth it but in my opinion it certainly is. I've owned all 3 of these lenses at one time or another. I also like buying used lenses too - my 18-105VR was a used purchase. There are so many of them floating around that you could get a mint condition one for a very reasonable price (even brand new it's not really expensive). The 18-105VR (and adding a 70-300VR at some point) would be my choice over getting the 18-55 + 55-200. Good luck [/QUOTE]
