[QUOTE="stmv, post: 147246, member: 10038"] mmm,, lots of good advice already, 5200 would be enough of a leap in sensor to make it worth the upgrade, 40X is a fine camera, so, you need enough of a leap to make it worth while. the 70-300 might be risky, due to the size increase, like you say, she already has the 200, and is used to the lens feel, and might be unhappy with the bulk. consider the newer 18x200,, not a bad lens, and gives her a single all day package. I still keep one and use for my DX kit (actually keep a 5100 with this lens as my perfect quick grab a camera mode). I really like the idea of getting her a 40 mm macro,, open her world to another type of photography. 85G is an awesome lens, and if you want to really wow her, get a D7000 before they are all gone, super camera. and will allow her to grow in photography even more, and opens up the WHOLE nikon lens universe.
