Buy which ever camera meets your needs as well as budget. You can upgrade the body in a  few years if you choose to do so and you will also be able to use the lenses  you have acquired. You can purchase a new d5100 at a great price from Amazon with the 18-55 kit lens currently 646.95 which is a fantastic price. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-16-2MP-Digital-Vari-Angle-Monitor/dp/B004V4IWHY%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI62SSPLIHX7AR6PA%26tag%3Dsnapsort-911-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB004V4IWHY" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-16-2MP-Digital-Vari-Angle-Monitor/dp/B004V4IWHY?SubscriptionId=AKIAI62SSPLIHX7AR6PA&tag=snapsort-911-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B004V4IWHY</a>or the d7000 Body only is running right at 996.00 with the recent price drop, with a kit lens around 1296.00, I highly recommend the d7000 as I love mine. d300 is still priced at 2199.00 new on Amazon but they have many used available starting at 450.00 on up as well. I bet with low shutter acutations you would be looking at 600 to 800.00 for a nice one. If you opt to buy used please purchase from a reputable seller. I haven't purchased used items from Amazon. I know they have a bunch of independent sellers and feedback varies with each one. I prefer to purchase directly from Amazon and not deal with the individual sellers unless they happen to be a major retailer like Adorama or BH Photo that is listing on Amazon of course. If you choose to purchase a used camera perhaps you may do so locally at a camera shop where some type of warranty is given.</blockquote>
