The viewfinder on the D80 is as good or better than a D or DS. I don't see the K10D having a better viewfinder. Nikon's kit zooms are the 18-55DX and 55-200DX. Decent lenses, but not up to the Pentax DA's (The Nikon 55-200 is probably optically as good as the 50-200, but the build quality is distinctly worse). _Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
