I am more inclined to view that the D80 is targeted at D50 users instead of D70/s users. The upgrade path shall therefore be:
D50 -> D80
D70/s -> D200

[_espn_]

D50 -> D80
D100 -> D70/s -> D200

There is a slight difference between product roadmap and user-perceived upgrade. Product roadmap refers to how manufacturers create models to replace the older models, to fill a gap in the product positioning. User-perceived upgrade refers to how users see as a next better model to buy from the current one he/she owns.

Since D80 uses SD card, there is no way D70/s users will upgrade to that: for D70/s and D100 users, D200 is the choice. But new DSLR users will purchase D80 which is a product replacement of D70/s. Meaning, Nikon consumer digicams, including consumer DSLR, will use SD cards hereon.

Totally agree with you, and the more I think about it, the more clever it seems, Nikon really do have some tricks up their sleaves.
