$450, even in US$, is very little for a D80 body. Im seeing them sell here for 650 CAD.

I mainly want to upgrade from D60 to D80 so that I am not limited to the more expensive AF-S lenses. I already have my 18-55 VR, 55-200 VR lenses, but I wanted to be able to autofocus my 50mm f/1.8 lens. I have been using it manual focus which is not too hard; however it would feel nice to not feel so limited. I think the D50/70 have the motor to AF such lenses, but I did not want to (downgrade?) to a D50 or D70.

I've found countless D80 bodies under $500 with low actuations, so I will probably only get $325 for my D60 body.

I guess you are asking why such a small upgrade? Price. I figure I'll fork out ~$100 for this upgrade and will be happy keeping a D80 for a while. I just picked up my first DSLR a few weeks ago and will try to master the basics for now.

I've been thinking about selling my D80. Actually I have decided to sell it and moved all the info there.
