Most pros probably don't use the D80 shown in your first picture for a first camera. While being a great camera it is made of plastic. The D200 has a more rugged metal mechanic, shoots @ 5fps and has 1/250 flash sync, so most pros will probably go for a D200, a D2Xs (pricey!!), or probably even wait for a new pro camera that Nikon may unveil soon.

If money is an issue -and with digicams that will be obsolete in a couple of years it probably is for most of us- I'd still pick the D80 over (almost) any Canon for the simple fact that it gives you access to Nikon's unsurpassed lenses. Like the new 18-200 that is relatively cheap and makes a whole bag of expensive lenses obsolete. In the end it's the lens that counts, not so much the camera. Also, good lenses keep their value while digital cameras are worth shit after 2 years, so it's always a good idea to invest a little more in a lens.
