I own a nikon D80 camera, and just opened the full menu, well I went to number 24 I believe on my camera and it said sync speed so I clicked 1/80th of a second, now I can't go higher when nikons are supposed to go 200th of a second, how do I change this?

What should I ask for on Christmas?
I know that christmas is like three months from now, but I can't stop thinking about it for some reason. I can't decide on what to ask for between these three things:

I'm chosing between nikon d90 or canon 50d.both great cameras, but which of these is better?
if some of you will say 50d, which lens would be a good lens for it, the 17-85mm or 28-135mm?

ok so canon has more pixels, it's also faster with 6.3fps and even better body quality, but some says d90.

Film camera recommendations for a digital photographer?
My main goal is high-contrast black and white photography such as this:
