[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 93481, member: 10447"] I am a bit confused as to the best way to go about my upgrade path. Ultimately I think I want to end up with a D600. Do I really need a D600 ? Probably not. Do I want a D600 ? Yes. I see my options as, stick with my D3100 until I have enough money to go straight to a D600. Or, a stepping stone or two along the way. I have been checking out 2nd hand prices for a while now. I was tempted to buy a D90, but then thought for another $100 I can go to a D300. But after reading a bit about the different cameras, I am now thinking I might be better to go to a 2nd hand D7000 for another $150 on top of what a D300 is going for. The reason for this is I think I would find the transition from D3100 to D7000 to D600 a bit smoother. From what I can gather they all lean towards menu based controls, more so than the D300. Another thought is maybe if I get a D7000, I would be happy to stay with it for a good while. Then there are the lens's to consider, I have a Nikon 70-300VR on the way, I will probably get a Nikon 50G/1.8 soon. And when I sell my D3100 and kit lenses, I will look for a mid range FX zoom. Can anyone see any holes in my thinking, or have any thoughts on the matter. [/QUOTE]
