I got an interesting piece of junk mail in my inbox this morning. It seems that now that I’ve finally bought a decent Digital SLR, Nikon comes out with a new model that’s even better. I bought the D50 earlier in the year because it’s relatively cheap, (for a DSLR) and would let me achieve my goal of being able to get into astrophotography. (that’s when you mate your camera to a telescope and take pictures of things in space..) I love my D50, and it seems this new model is everything the D50 is, plus an extra 4.1 megapixels of resolution. (you’ll also pay about $100/megapixel more for the upgrade…) The D80 isn’t officially available until September, so if you’re looking for a DSLR, you may just want to wait for this one. If you’re really interested, check out this review for more info.
