Pentax K10D vs. Nikon D80 vs. Sony A100 vs. Canon XTi [Page 1]
I did "NOT" take comparative photos, but based on what I've seen posted, would have expected the K10D to come in somewhere between the D80 and A100.... I have been comparing the Pentax K10D, Sony A100, Canon XTi and Nikon D80....

Nikon D80 vs Sony A100 [Page 1]
The Nikon felt better, but what I was concerned about was some of the images I have seen in comparison to the A100 look soft and that combined with lack of on camera sensor stabilization, has me concerned that the pics coming from the D80 would be more fuzzy with less detail.... I'm a Nikon guy and like my D80 better than I did the A100 (which I had for about three months), but I can see where need for a specific feature would swing someone toward the Sony....

Sony A100 Vs. Nikon D80

Nikon D80 vs. Sony A100 [Page 1]
From what I have seen, the A100 has the advantages of built in sensor cleaning and anti shake, everything else is probably comparable (with no definitive D80 test available yet).... I have an A100 and a D80....

ISO comparison, Nikon D80 vs Sony a100 ! [Page 2]
I have a very strong suspicion that the A100 and D200 won't match the D80's noise performance.... This particular comparison was very badly done, but it wouldn't surprise me if the D80 turns out to have less noise than the Sony....
