Nikon by far, Sony just branched out to SLR cameras, Nikon is the way to go. d80 is not that hot though I got the d50 works amazing, Nikon has a wide viriaty of pieces to go with it, and more options, stat with Nikon.
As a sportsphotographer and a photojournalist, I look to either side of me at major events. Guess how many Sony cameras I see? Zero.
The vast majority are Canon and Nikon. The view from the stands reveals the same.
A Sony dslr, using updated Minolta-Konica designs and technology has many inviting features. But the Canon and Nikon systems and support are vast and legendary.
One note: A Sony selling point is the image stabilization built-in the body. There’s a reason why professionals in the field choose stabilization designed in the lenses. It simply works better.
As for the two cameras you’ve named, the D80 has captured more amazing photos.
Here’s almost 56,000 Nikon D80 images uploaded one one day.http://www.flickr.com/cameras/nikon/d80/
And here’s 6,900 Sony a200 images uploaded over the same time period.http://www.flickr.com/cameras/sony/dslr-…

Hope this helps.
