[QUOTE="thosdmg, post: 73236, member: 10255"] Hi Mandy and welcome Well, this is my first post here but I've been reading for a while as I was thinking of upgrading from D90 to D7k After a while of investigating - a used 300s was considered as well - I nearly dropped my intentions about an upgrade as I was so confused and pricing didn't match my expectations. But then, suddenly, a D7k jumped on Ebay at 790 EUR including an MB-D 11 grip, a second battery and GGS glasses, less than 2 years old, with proof of purchase and less than 8k shutter releases. So I understand what you say on the D90 - sometimes life tells you something ;) Just as a hint if it's not tooooo urgent for you to have this little gem in your hands (this may point out I'm more than happy with my new toy) - In Cologne, Germany Photikina takes place mid September and there are many rumours around that there will be new models at the top end consumer range as well as the low end pro range. If this really should happen prices for old gear may drop a bit further - maybe worth while waiting? If not you lost a few weeks which you can use for further investigating on good shops and taking good pictures with your well known point & shoot. Sunny greetings from upper Austria Thomas [/QUOTE]
