How about turning that lovely 24-70 lens of yours into a real 24-70... ;-).

Way too much camera for me.
Hehe, by "me" I mean the official family photographer, my wife. We are waiting for the D90, assuming there will be one. It is long overdue, from what I understand. And with the extra money, some good quality glass to enhance the kit. :-)

Does your wife already shoot with a DSLR? If this is the first, the D60 is nice and small, and is a great camera.

Wide angles are awesome. Use them more. :P

Yes she does, a Digital Rebel from several years ago (can't recall the exact model number but is an entry level DSLR).
She wants more out of her camera, and I figured the D80 successor to be the better choice over the D60. She takes a photo class where everyone uses Nikon, and since the glass in her kit isn't anything special, now is a good time to make the transition.

Aha, I see - makes sense then!

I find that when I buy lenses now I always take the 1.5x multiplier into account, so I don't feel hampered by the sensor. In fact, I prefer it: the 28-300 Tamron lens I bought becomes a 42 to 450mm lens, which is what I want...mega zoon! I hardly ever touch my 12-24 Tokina and will probably sell it - I don't do wide angle all that often.
