That's true for some lenses (non-CPU, I believe), and a major issue. It depends on which lenses you're using on it. See this chart to tell:

Also, pre-AI lenses can be cheaply converted to work on the body. That's one nice thing about Nikon, is they allow them to work with legacy glass.

Most pros find the D200 to be a much better camera than the D80 and worth the extra money. It has a metal frame and is weather-sealed, in addition to the other features.
