Buy new: $1,099.99 / Used from: $520.00
I'm not really a kit lens person, so I got the body only. I LOVE the D80! It's a perfect successor to my N80!

Nikon AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 D Lens with Aperture RingNikon AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 D Lens with Aperture Ring
Buy used from: $109.00
This came in the kit with my N80 - I got the sports and rec pkg, so I got the 70-300 lens too. Careful with these lenses - the new cameras are requiring the AF-S lenses. The D80 works with just the AF lenses

Buy new: $149.00 / Used from: $100.99
This is the other lens that came with my N80. They do well enough with the D80, but I am working on getting all digital lenses.

Buy new: $109.95 / Used from: $94.00
This is a kit lens that has come with some of the Nikon DSLRs. I like it... haven't gotten it yet b/c I am still using my 28-80 and 70-300 lense. But it is on the to-buy list.

Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $180.00
I've used this before - it is totally worth it to pay the extra for the VR - it really helps steady the pics. This is also on the to-buy list. Getting this + the 18-55 will give you the range of the 18-200 for a lot less $

I love photoshop and use it all the time! I am a college student, and if you are too, I would recommend your bookstore - you can get the full version of CS2 (not just photoshop!) for $220 at my college bookstore. Don't know the details of CS3 yet...
