I concur, although I have not used the D80 (so maybe I don't qualify to quote lol) You can get a D5500 (cheaper than D5600 and basically same camera) with kit lens and the "nifty fifty" 50mm 1.8, as was recommended above, for less than $1K. I am so happy with my 5500 I know I will not be upgrading anytime soon!

The Nikon D80 is a rather old 2006 10.2MP DSLR. Probably great camera in its day, in fact I've hear it was. But even Nikon entry level consumer models like the D3300 are far beyond it. And any lens today or even most in 2006 would have far higher IQ than that D80 camera. Today you might consider a D7200, D7500, D5500, or D5600 Camera.
