I handled a D80 at Costco the other day. I thought the viewfinder was okay but not as large or bright as the K10 (although I didn't look at them side by side). The camera, however, felt far cheaper and more plastic than the K10. Not even close in perceived build quality. Paul -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "P. J.
