Does that mean it's JUST the body and I need to order the battery seperately?

If you are talking about buying new from a retailer, it should nean you get everything except the lens.

So you should get battery, strap, instruction manual, software etc.

If you are buying something secondhand, I would check with the seller.

okay that's what I was wondering. I'll be ordering new from either BHPhoto or Amazon.

No lens usually.

Look closly at the ad to make sure its not one of those deals where you get a great price on the body, but pay through the nose with everything else you will need to make that body operate.

I'm not buying for a few weeks yet- just getting my ducks in a row.

Amazon has the D80 body for the same price as BHphoto. THe dealer on Amazon is Cameta. Shipping is 10 dollars cheaper then it is through BH.

I knew it didn't come with a lens, was wondering about the battery.

That's true for the reputable stores, like B&H. Some of the bait-and-switch stores sell everything separately. check with //www.resellerratings.com before you buy.
