Yes we talked about this to the death but I wanted to ask...
How much can I get if sold these..
Nikon D80 (barely used for less than a year)
Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR II Autofocus (with polarized filter)
Nikon 50mm f/2.0
Extra battery
RemoteAlso, what is a Canon equivalent for D80?
- lvl_130
are you looking to sell it all together (as in a group)?
the d80, if i'm not mistaken, is comparable to the digital rebel (eos 300d)

Try fredmiranda.com. You have to pay to use their classified service, but it sounds like you really get good money for your equipment. they might have a better idea of market prices there.

i think the canon equivalent is the 400d (digital rebel xti)
- slappy0
Canon equivalent is probably 40D. You can get 5Ds dirt cheap at the moment though so if you can live with the 3 fps the I would order one from hong kong for under 2k.Full frame ftw. http://www.digitalrev.com had some. Not spam, I just got my 580ex II flash from them and saved $300
- careful, the ones from hong kong, are usually Canon rip offs..
if it's too cheap to be true, then it probably isMeeklo - it probably isMeeklo
- So far everything we have bought from these chaps has been perfect.slappy
- only issue with buying from HK would be the warrantyenfocusmedia

i much prefer the 40d personally. much stronger than the plastic 450d. but then again, i am hard on my stuff. the 450d should be quite a bit cheaper in cost though (if that's an issue for you)

vs.
http://www.dpreview.com/news/080…- unless you cameras all day long. the 400/450d is plenty strong. It doesn't feel cheap by any meansadev
- i don't really agree with you. hold both in your hands and you can tell the difference in 1 second.lvl_13
- if you are talking weight then yes.********
- I have held both at the same time. I went from a D30 to a XTi. I have directly compared the D30 to the XTi to the 30D.adev

biggest hidden difference: 20d/30d/40d has a shutter rated for 100,000 clicks.
300d/350d/400d/450d has a shutter rated for 10,000 clicks.makes a difference if you're going to be shooting pro :D
- Im up to 15,000 on my old 300D body and 10,000 on my 30D.slappy
- i have no idea what this means.. what does it mean?********
- i hit 20,000 on my 300d before it broke. am at probably 40,000 on my 30d.bigtrick
- it means how many photos you can take (ie. press the shutter button)lvl_13
- SLR's have a rough amount of shutter actuations before the shutter breaks. Its a mechanical component Dinky.slappy
- interesting.... i did not know that... can you tell some how where you are at?********
- i shot 200,00 with my original rebel and it still works.....sikma

I have the 40d and it's a great camera.
- ********0
I am still debating about accepting that cost depreciation on my Nikon which I hardly used and starting fresh with Canon...
Is there Canon 50D coming out soon?- 40D just came out so i wouldn't expect to see the 50D for some timesikma

I started a thread simply stating how sexy Canon L Lens were on my flickr page. Boy did I stirr the hornets nests. Never again. lol.

the main reason for considering canon is that canon has wider variety of lenses at cheaper price.. while body cost is more than Nikon..
- I believe that's because in terms of lenses...
Canon < Nikon < Canon "L"
Price accordinglyadev

L Lens Rule. I love them.

Canon, period!

Actually the lens is more important then the body of either the Canon or Nikon. And Canon's lens are superior. I do agree with Meeklo, it's is the individual eye that captures a great photo not the brand of the camera.

canon pro lenses aren't superior to nikon pro lenses imo
- the L-series lenses are superior to jesus christ himself.daveFelton
- daveFelton can keep his mouth shut from now on for shooting off.Samush
- samush lenses are superior to davefelton lenses********
- the L lens is the lens jesus uses.********
- I'm not a photographer, but Its not the first time I hear canon lenses are superior.Meeklo

I always liked older Nikon lenses much better than Canon ones. Is this different for their digital lenses or do you guys just like Canon lenses better in general.
