[QUOTE="thefish, post: 7434, member: 2757"] Hi everyone. First post here. Let me start off by saying i've been perusing the forums here for a few hours, and boy, what a wealth of knowledge. Thanks in advance. I know this probably has been covered before, and I did gleam some information from the threads I read, so sorry for the NOOB post. I guess the alternate tite could be "DX" or "FX"? So here goes. I have a Nikon N70 with 3 lenses. Tamron 28-200, 3.5 I believe Sigma 18-35, 3.5 I believe Nikon 105 Macro,2.8 All lenses do not have internal motors, obviously. I want to go digital for obvious reasons. Some of my photographs will be interiors (living rooms, theater rooms). Most of my photos will be candid shots of my 1 1/2 year old, at home, outside playing, on vacation, etc. I really like the 18-35 I have for the interior work, and the 28-200 seems like good all around lense. I'm looking for recommendations, or I guess the pro's and cons, between the D700, and the D7000. I understand the 1.5 crop factor going to DX, and i'm assuming the AF will work with the lenses I have on both D bodies? The reviews I read seem to show that the PQ between the D700 and D7000 are very close. ( I could be wrong) So, should I buy a DX kit with the 18-105 DX lense, or am I better off going with a D700 and using all my lenses? Or a D7000 and use my lenses? What yould you do? I'm far from a pro, and most of the time the I'll trust the camera to do it's "automatic" selection. However, with the instant gratification of digital, I guess there will be more experementation that I did with the film camera. I know the cost difference between the bodies, and it's not an issue. Thanks in advance, I know this probably has been beaten to death somewhere. [/QUOTE]
