There's a new Nikon D80 review on photo.net (and some discussions) in case anyone would like to read more reviews of the camera.

The f/2.5 version or the new macro one?

Just picked up a D40 on Friday. Sweet camera... I can't wait to be able to afford a new lens. For now though, the kit lens is working well for me, I've been able to get some decent shots. Some of my favorites:

Actually the kits lens can produce pretty good pictures stopped down. It's very contrasty, they're just fine as long as you can stand the plasticky/toy feel.

The feel doesn't bother me at all (hell, its really all I know at this point)... really, the only reason I am interested in a new lens at this point is that I would like something with a bit more zoom.

the new macro but at a grand with tax it will be a while

[dj_mocok]

Don't bother with the new macro, just go like me and get the Tamron 90mm one, bokeh is great and to me image quality is equal (or even better - I'll be damned).
