I wonder what the response will be from Canon?

The D80 certainly has a fair spec', it looks like Nikon are serious about that segment of the market.

Pro-sumer DSLR (a horrible term actually).

The D80 retail pricing places it under the Canon 30D discounted price.
And by the time some discounting arrives I guess it will be in the price region of the 350D.

So, what is the hierarchy of Nikon DSLRs now? I don't follow their releases closely since I use Canon.

Bottom to top*:

Coolpix series
D50
D70[s]
D80
D200
D2x[s]/D2h[s]


*Premise: There is an inherent ascendancy from holiday snapshooter through hobbyist, amateur to pro. Personally I think there isn't, all those cameras are tools, which obviously don't have a hierarchy (or is a carpenter's hammer on top of a goldsmith's?).
