Hi all,

Im feeling its time for an upgrade from my beginners D3000.. its just what to go for??

So far im looking at D5100 , D7000, D90 or D300.

Has anyone had any experience with any of the above please?

I have used for two years the D90 which has been an excellent camera, I use the D700 at the moment which is full frame. If you can afford it go for the D7000 it s built very well and offers good resolution and is an excellent camera between the D300 and D700

I've had my D90 for a couple of years now and I really like it. It's hard to beat the Costco kit.

Just heard that the new D3200 is 24megapixels , great for cropping ships / plane and retaining detail.. Hmm just when I had made nearly made my mind up it was to be a D90 lol

I am completely happy with my Nikon D7000, can have a few drops of rain and some dust.

one of the best things, I think, (as a simple Dutchie) is to have two slots for your Sd cards, one can go only for jpeg and the other for raw pics

I have had a D80 for a number of years and have just upgraded to a D800 and shifted to FX format although my D80 remains as a back up. If you are remaining DX, I would go for a D7000 as it gets rave reviews and you can keep the same glass.

I am using D800E - it is excellent. As a back-up I have D3200 - also good, but autofocus can be a bit slow. That said, I still have D700 and D300S. Must get round to flogging them soon, but only when I am fully confident with the 800E. Useful, in my opinion, to have a DX and FX body. Remember though, that lens is equally important. I use 70-200 VR11 - pricey but worth it for sharp pix.

Hi Mate

I've just upgraded from a 10 year old D70 to a D7000 and also treated myself to the 18 - 200mm VR Nikon lens an I'll not look back as it's been worth every penny so far.
