[QUOTE="foo4you, post: 67722, member: 10224"] I can see how the d3000 would be limiting if you want full manual control at your finger tips (with dials, rather than going into the menu). Being from the NW I really value good low light performance (even my D7000 can be limiting here) BUT I completely agree that if your experience/skill has not brought you to the point where you understand or recognize these issues in your work then keep shooting with the D3000. Shoot until you outgrow it. I shot with a D40 for 2 years AND even then I recognized the limitations but waited, knowing I would continue to grow. When I was ready to upgrade I set a budget and did a lot of research. I ended up with the D7000 because for the price it was a no-brainer...also because it has the motor arm to automate older lenses. Now I am ready to upgrade again (need better performance at higher ISO) but I am holding off...not quite convinced the D800 is the right one for me. Bide your time and grow your skill, then make the leap to the next body. In the meantime it never hurts to invest in good lenses (although I would stick to FX compatible lenses if you think you will go with an FX body later) [/QUOTE]
