I was looking and reading everything about XTI, but then when I was in the store I found it so little. The camera felt really small in my hands. Also I prefer to have a LCD on top. So the Canon 30D was a better choice, solid, faster, but then...:( a bit pricey....
So I bought the Nikon D80 which is just between the two cameras (price and size). Also thanks to Ken Rockwell's website who has really good information about Nikon (also Nikon vs. Canon).
Anyways I posted some test shots which were taken with the kit lens (18-70 mm), straight from the camera, no Photoshop, just some cropping:

Brilliant colours, no use of filters.

I love the camera, soon I hope to get the 70-300 mm VR lens as well :)
Anyone who considers to get a Nikon? Just do it..!

Yeah, I've said it many times before. If I didn't already have Canon equipment (which I love) and was looking to get a DSLR, the Nikon D80 would be my choice. Congrats and keep on sharing!
