[QUOTE="Roscoe Primrose, post: 780651, member: 44900"] In this scenario, the limitations of your 3200 aren't because it's too "entry-level", they're due to the 3200 being too old. The Tamron lens you have now is the weak link. 70-300 lenses are consumer quality even when you get the 1st party lenses, never mind 3rd party. The 70-200 f/4 mentioned is a good lens with the option to use converters, fairly affordable on the used market. The Sigma & Tamron 100-400 lenses are also much better quality than the 70-300 you have now. Remember, you buy glass for the long-haul, bodies are short-term investments. Keep in mind that the D610 is 350g heavier than the D3200. Also, you were looking to go longer than 300mm, on DX... You'll need 450mm on the D610 just to get the same field of view you're getting now at 300mm on the D3200. Yeah, you could crop on the D610, but then you're at about 10Mp.... Just my 2p....
