a pretty noob question... but is it possible to select multi focus points in manual mode? if so how do you do it for the d80? lol I can only pick one of the preset 11 positions... eg i want 3 focus points on the left side and blur out the rest

Sorry, D80 doesn't offer that ability. You need a D200 to achieve what you stated, even though both AF systems use Mulit-CAM 1000, but I assume Nikon crippled it deliberately for the D80.

If you want to focus on a certain area and blur out the rest, use a telephoto lens with a large aperture.

Is this feature available on the Canon 40D ?

[De_Cruelz]

Nope, but like NeoNode said, you can control it with your aperture size.

[NeoNode]

Man, I so need to invest in some pocket wizards, but fark they cost a bomb and a kidney.

Hehe extremely nice to use and hear when the shutter goes. Downside is my CF cards fill up too quickly

You need a special lens to do this ( If i understand what your trying to say)
