So why the mention of the D80 in the title?
John.
By the way, in my earlier post, i should have stressed that I used the G9
to take close up shots because of the problems at that time with using the
D70 plus macro plus flash. The results with the G9 doing close up work was
somewhat better than I expected.

I have a D80 and like it fairly well and I do the same as you, shoot in
jpeg and raw. It's a lot easier than shooting in just raw and having to
convert all the photos.
About the higher and higher number of megapixels, I agree with you, it
just makes you have to have more and more storage without any real
benefit as an amateur. Blowing up a photo to 16" by 20" is large enough
for me.

I've been thinking lately that it could be another 3 years before something
turns up thats better for me than the D80, and given that the D80 is coming
down in price its tempting to buy a second one. I have a number of lens and
I want to avoid changing them too often when I'm out in the countryside as I
eventually accumulate all sorts of rubbish on the sensor. the D80 is just
light enough to consider having two of them attached to two lens in my
rucksack!

Your D70 can save an NEF and JPG simultaneously too.

Yes, but the jpeg resolution is low.
I don't like to change lenses either. Since I now have three digital
cameras and 4 lenses, I have my macro on one camera, an 18-200VR on my
D80 and the new 24-70 on my D300. I have another telephoto lens that I
am not using at present. The D300 has a sensor cleaning action built in
the vibrates the sensor to keep dust off, I don't know how this works
because I haven't changed the lens. When I go on vacation I take my D80
and my D300.
