Same camera…different lens options. I guess, should I go with the one with 2 lenses or one?
Since the D80 has been discontinued you might want to look at the Nikon D90. The D90 offers video capability and is available at http://www.bhphotovideo.com for $1159.95 with an 18-105mm VR lens.
If you decide to stay with the D80, in my opinion the two lens kit is the better deal – IF it comes with everything it should. Per the Nikon site, the D80 package included the following:
EN-EL3e Rechargeable L-Ion battery
MH-18a Quick Charger
UC-E4 USB Cable
EG-D2 A/V Cable
Body Cap
BM-7 LCD Cover
Shoulder Strap
DK-5 Eyepiece Shield
DK-21 Rubber Eye cup
Accessory Shoe Cover
Software CD-ROM (PicturePerfect Drivers)
User Manual
1 year U.S.A. Limited Warranty
