[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 197130, member: 1061"] Switching platforms is kind of a big deal. It's not just about the gear, it's a whole new mindset, a new vocabulary. You're in the soft spot between Nikon's offerings: Upgrading may be more than what you want or need, and is expensive...and you don't want to downgrade and lose the features you've become accustomed to. That's a tough spot to be in. I remember making the leap from D90 to D300s. It wasn't like starting all over again, but leaving those auto controls behind was rough at first. The safety net was gone. Looking back now, the switch pushed me to do better, and I think that's how you have to approach this. Here's my advice: stick with Nikon. I think if you switch platforms, you're going to be pushed so far out of your comfort zone that you're going to lose interest. I think if you picked up a Canon XXX, it's going to see some action at first, but then you'll start heavily favoring that V1 because it's familiar. My advice would be to get the D600 or D800. That's just the next logical step in progression. When my D300s finally kicks the bucket, I'll be in the same boat as you. And if it happened tomorrow, I'd probably be writing a similar thread because I think you and I are in that same soft spot in the market. [/QUOTE]
