[QUOTE="sherib, post: 12454, member: 4290"] I'm trying to decide which camera will be my next purchase. Currently I use a Pentax K2000, terrible in low light! Since purchasing this camera 2 years ago, my use has changed and I feel the need for something better. I enjoy taking pictures at my son's basketball games, which are notorious for having bad lighting! A friend's D5000 produced pretty good results with this, so I'm pretty convinced a switch is necessary! My other son is in a band and I would like to be able to take some pictures at his shows as well. I also would like to not have to use a flash all of the time indoors. While I understand that a fast lens would help, I was so pleased with the pictures I was able to get with the D5000, that I would think that one of the mentioned cameras would be much better than what I have. This purchase is going to have to wait until I can save the money, so I have plenty of time to read all I can before I buy. Any advice/suggestions are appreciated! [/QUOTE]
