i'm looking t'by a nikon d80, i visit stores at the mall and they're price at like 1300+

but when i do some research online, some sites are selling it for around 800.

is this rite? or the 800 dollar d80 some sort of a rippoff

if online is cheap, B&H's name keeps poppin up, do u recommend them?

oh and whats the difference between the 18-200mm vr USA and 18-200mm vr imported?

Yes, B&H have them in stock and brand new $730USD.

Adorama also has them for the same price:

I highly recommend these two vendors.

Be sure to check out our buying thread at the top of the Camera forum.

B&H is very reliable.

If you're looking for just the body only, it's just under $730 there:
Nikon D80 body only

18-200VR Lens, the difference between imported and USA is warranty and eligibilty for rebates. USA lens has 5 year Nikon warranty.

Some kit bundles they have:

Nikon D80 w/18-55mm VR Lens

Nikon D80 w/18-55mmVR & 70-300mm VR Lenses

Nikon D80 w/18-135mm Lens

Couple of inexpensive items you may find handy to go with it:

Nikon Wireless Remote Control ML-L3

Nikon MC-DC1 Remote Cord

If you plan to shoot tethered, you may find this handy:

Nikon EH-5 AC Adapter
