I've lost some very good shots as the dial had mysteriously moved to shutter priority, or one of the scene selection modes. So I get "bulb" popping up or suddenly can't use the exposure compensation. By the time I've worked out what's happened, the birds gone and I've missed the shot.Never happens with the D300. It's a lot easier to use than the D80, even if there's not a great deal of difference in image quality IMHO.</blockquote>
