[QUOTE="RobV, post: 568500, member: 40570"] I absolutely loved my D610 the short time that I owned it. I sold it shortly after being laid off, only to be replaced with a D5300. One feature I missed from my 1st and 3rd bodies is the fold-out/rotate LED screen, most handy for me when shooting lunar, and aiming and focusing in Live View. But the D610 will be noticeably heavier than your current body, and it seems almost every different Nikon DSLR has it's own signature body and grip dimensions. Agreed again. A small part of the selection process might be having a common battery spec. between the two bodies. But that might limit the increase in features. I know my batteries for the D610 were quite different from the D5200 that came before. But, yeah,glass. I just found out on a recent trip to Robert's Camera, here in Indianapolis, that their classes are free to buyers of major components. That is a nice benefit from shopping locally. As someone that is way newbie, my post processing skills are sorely lacking, but with the ease of working with a digital medium on a computer - ii is a match made in Heaven (or Seattle/So. Cali). But even post processing software has gotten a little pricey, as they are mostly a "subscription" purchase. Just keep it in mind for your budget. $9.95/month [url=http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography.html?sdid=KKTJE&mv=search&s_kwcid=AL!3085!3!93731927178!e!!g!!photoshop%20lightroom&ef_id=V0KIKQAABT1IwRcb:20160714013419:s]Lightroom and Photoshop | Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan[/url] [/QUOTE]
