[QUOTE="aroy, post: 569316, member: 16090"] I have a D3300 and use it mostly with either the 18-55 kit lens or 35mm F1.8DX. In last two and a half years I have crossed 65,000 shots and barring that the D3300 is a DX ;I would love to have an FX so that wide angles shoot wide; I still find it an excellent camera - it is cheap, light and the battery last at least 500 shots. That said, as others have advised, do some introspection as to why you need to upgrade. Here are a few valid reasons 1. I want an articulating screen. 2. I want a motor in the body so that I can use the older AF lenses 3. I want to use older MF AIS lenses, so I need body that can meter AIS lenses 4. I shoot landscapes mostly, so I need an FX sensor to shoot wide 5. I need better low light AF capability 6. I need that 10+ fps 7. I shoot in rain, so I need a water proof body ........ There can be many reasons not the least is "I want the best as I can afford it". If none of the above reasons listed above are of paramount importance to you, stick with the D3200. If your fingers are still itching to spend money, then do so on lenses and accessories. They will, in general pay more dividends than upgrading a body. Here are some options that come to my mind . Lens 200-500 f5.6 . Lens 70-200 f2.8 . Lens 24-70 f2.8 . Manfroto CF tripod with ball head . SB700/910 flash Last but not the least a good computer with a 4K display [/QUOTE]
