Should I ditch the 400d for a D80?

[andywright182]

Can get the D80 with kit lens (18-135) for around £500 at the moment and not sure if I should sell my 400d with lens, 50mm prime and Sigma 70-300 to fund the purchase. Only thing I can see that I would be losing on is the topend zoom but this isnt top priority at the moment.

Do you guys think it is worth it? is the D80 a significant improvement over the 400d?

I know it is an older modem now, but my insurance company will insure it on a new for old basis anyway should the worst happen

Cheers

why not get a 40d or 5d old 1d but tbh you dont have any canon gear worth keeping so moving wouldnt be an issue

modem?

I'm not sure there would be any significant advantages from changing. £500 seems steep for a D80 and kit lens. However, you could get a mint D200 and lens for around that price.

I meant to type model, why I got mode I have no idea

The £500 is for a brand new D80 so is a tad higher, just not sure if it worth the extra or if I should stick by Canon. IdeallyI would like to upgrade to 50d, but this is way out of my price range and Nikons pricing seems to be a bit better than canons. Thats the only thing tempting me across.

Just checekd ebay as well and have seen that 2nd hand 80d's are going for more than £500

40D should be better than the D80 on paper (which is probably on par with the older 30D) and around the same price... just depends on personal preference..
