I would suggest the Nikon D700, however, if your heart is set on the D80 (a wonderful camera, I will add) then I would have to say go for it, though it will probably cost you, camera and lens, about 1500 dollars. P.S., make sure to get a "DX" lens if you get a D80, it'll work better than a regular lens.

But.. Are you SURE you want a fisheye lens? The Nikon 10.5mm fisheye lens runs over $600. Sigma makes a 15mm f/2.8 fisheye lens, but from what I saw of it, it leaves a lot to be desired. You might be better off with an ultrawide lens instead of a fisheye lens. They are more versatile and have have less distortion. The Nikon D80 is an Excellent SLR.
