Sony Alpha100 v.s. Nikon D80

Coming after Sony's first DSLR alpha100, Nikon seems to deliver their new model D80 in few days.

As an honest user of Nikon D50, I tried alpha100 this Monday and found some differences between alpha100 & D50. Alpha100 is smaller with the size similar to Canon 350D. I do not like the shutter sound of alpha100 as well.

Still....I'm looking forward to D80. I think it should be cheaper than D200 and a great successor to D70s.
