Several items related to the D80 were mentioned on DPreview.com and its D80/D70/D50 forum.
First the news - September 1: "Pretec has today announced the highest capacity SD card to date"
the story's link: www.dpreview.com/news/0609/06090101pretec8gbsdhc.asp
As you probably know, the D80 will be able to use SD cards as well as the newer larger SD-HC cards. As well as Pretec's 8GB cards, Panasonic, Toshiba, and SanDisk have announced they are marketing 4 GB cards.
According to DPreview, the D80 firmware is already able to use 32 GB SD-HC cards, which obviously are not out there yet....
On the D80/D70/D50 forum, one user has announced he picked up his D80 on Friday. So I guess they are slowly hitting the street.
One large chain National Camera Store with an internet presence has reportedly taken 1000 pre-orders for the D80. They don't think their original shipment will include 1000 cameras according to their local salesman. I did not tell him that I ordered mine elsewhere.
