Nikon D50 Vs. D80
I think a D80 is nice and a D50 for backup, for work the price diff is not big so get that.... I think it is more important to get better lenses than more pixels, if the money is limitting....

D80 vs D50
Have you done any testing to see if the D80 runs a median filter on long exposures, as the D50/70/70s/200 does?... I started to write a post about the long exposure amp glow on Nikon D80 vs D50 but, it turned out a bit long and I may want to post it in all the places I was bugging people for the dark frame samples so; I put the thing on my website....

D50 vs D80
If you want an 8x10 you need to crop, in which case you would be better off with the D80.... D80 supposedly has the FP (Fast Pulse, or Focal Plane mode), though seems that Nikon does not advertise this feature....
