What to choose? D70 or D80

I'm trying to buy a used DSLR as a second camera. I found a D70 for 15k and a D80 for 25k...
What would be the better choice? Help!

D80 kung naa kay budget. But I think the price is a bit steep if it's second hand. 30k ra ang brandnew.

D80 beats the D70 with the lcd size, resolution, max ISO, it uses sd card compared to flash card for me thats a good thing i have a friend d na magamit iyang d70 kay nangabali ang mga pins kay nabali ug sulod niya ang flash card gabinogo...pero depende sa imong budget, the way you shoot, it still up to the fotographer how creative you are..dili man na sa model ba just use your camera within its limits and you'll be happy, read this review its a comparison among advance amature D90, D300 and D3 you'll see pare-pareha ra, i say you buy the d70 if your ok with its limitations and invest on the lens ako i had the money to buy the D300 back then but when i read the reviews the D90 is pretty much like the D300 so i decided to get the D90 and use the extra money to buy other gears because of that i had a two strobe set-up...

I've read that sync speed of D70 could reach 1/500. I'm trying to be a strobist in the near future.
Also, Resolution (MegaPixels) is not an issue for me.

Actually, I've bought 2 bodies... hehe =)
Kinsa mupalit sa usa? 18K ra!

ako option would be a nikon D80 then parisan ug nikon na flash.. kay maka sync ka via CLS up to 1/4000*


*wa ko naka try or remember sa 1/4000 pero ni assume nalng ko kay naka sync ko ug 1/1250

I think what you're talking about is the shutter speed...
Anyways D70's max shutter speed can reach 1/8000 compared to D80's 1/4000. =)

Here's some other advantages of the D70 over the D80 I found on the net:
- Metering: 1005 pixel RGB sensor for D70 vs 420 for D80
- Shutter: D70 1/8000, D80 1/4000
- Flash sync, 1/500 vs 1/200. Newer Cameras (D40/x/60...) have only up to 1/250
