Adam: I do not know if you were able to read a post I wrote a couple of days ago regarding my N80 body purchase, but, anyway, I received the body and am quite impressed. I thought the smallish viewfinder magnification (supposedly .75x) might be a hinderance, but I find that, so far, the viewfinder is not all that bad. In fact, it seems as if may be even a tad better than my ZX-M's finder, which is supposedly 0.77x.
The N80 is loaded with functionality, and I find that, with the MB-16 pack attached, it has good balance and a comfortable feel in my hand. I had the D40 and K100D in my hand yesterday, and I thought both bodies were a bit thick for my hand. The K100D's body is a bit thinner, and thus it felt a little better, but the N80 is just about perfect for my somewhat small hand. Perhaps this is how all digital bodies tend to be (a bit thick)? When comparing the feel of the ZX-M and N80 to the digital bodies I have mentioned, it is similar to holding a baseball as opposed to a softball.
