I have the Nikon 18-200VR, awesome all around lens. Hardly ever leaves the body. Also got a 55 Micro, great prime and macro hardly gets on the camera because of the 18-200.
What John said, the D50/80 made me want to take pictures. Now my wife is hoggin' up my D80; I do not mind sharing... something very sexy about a beautiful woman using a SLR camera...
BTW you could get a used D50 for about $350, great buy and I do not see them getting much cheaper than that ever. I just 'sold' my D50 with a Nikon 18-135 to a family member for $600.

I like to use faster lenses.
My standard MF Nikkor set is 35mm f1.4, 55mm f1.2, 85mm f1.4. I looked through a catalog of Nikkor AF lenses and it would be expensive for me to duplicate these lenses in AF (e.g. AF 85mm f1.4 $900) or not possible (e.g. no AF 35mm f1.4, or AF 55mm f1.2 though f1.4 would be essentially same).
So I want to use the MF lenses on the future DSLR.
I'd get the 18-200mm AF VR too though.
