Hi Brian-

I just bought a D-80 myself, it's a great camera. My advice - you can buy it as a kit with one of two lenses, a 50mm fixed or a 18-135mm zoom. Get the 18-135mm kit. Initially, it costs a bit more, but buying lenses for this camera is not as easy as you would think right now. Most camera stores don't have good stock and a lot of popular sizes are backordered. If you're taking pictures of animals, the 18-135 is a great size that allows for good close up detail. I'm working on putting together an available animals page myself, if you're interested, I'll send you a link to it once it's done and you can see what my very mediocre skills can produce. Have fun,

-Rolf
