[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 27376, member: 16"] I don't think the age of a camera should be a determining factor in acquiring or discounting it. If the camera does what you expect it to do, then it should be considered. Naturally, all the newer ones have all the bells and whistles of newer technology, but still, it remains the person behind the camera to make it "sing". My D200 is almost 6 years old, but it still functions admirably. I don't change for changes sake, just to keep up with the Jones. Tell you the truth, if I had the financial wherewithall to get another camera, I would pick the D300 and/or the D3. Really, what it comes down to is what you can afford, and how the camera works for you. Everything else is fluff. I know people who have D90's that wouldn't trade them in for anything! Anyway, that's just my take on it. Other opinions may vary. :) [/QUOTE]
