It depends on what you mean by control. The D80 does offer controls that the K10D doesn't (notably in the Wireless flash system, which is more complex and capable on the D80 with full multi-group independant control, while the K10D can only control one group) while the K10D offers more exposure modes (TAv and Sv) and the easy RAW button.
