One of the cameras I own is the D80. I love it.
Now, I can't believe I have stumbled upon the Canon, alternate universe here! I must say, and this is the honest truth, in my many years of being a professional photographer, I have never met so many canon users. But I *do* have to admit, I don't skydive (seriously considering it) so I haven't shot while jumping.
One more thing I have to admit, it *is* much like the Pepsi, Coke debate. I will say that someone above mentioned that Nikon's customer service sucks. I find it quite opposite. I have met a number of those folks and have found that they go over and above anything that they really needed to do. I am a member of Nikon Professional Services and am quite happy with going with Nikon.
lol good luck
