I believe a person should buy the best they can afford, to start with, to be happiest down the road. If I could have, I would have bought a D3s, even though I didn't need one. I'm adding lenses as I can afford them. As far as the D7k having features you may not need right now, I'm also a firm believer in "it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!" Not just with photography, but everything..............I'm just the opposite of some. I hate a small camera! The D7k was even too small, once I got it and started using it. So, I ended up getting the Nikon battery grip for it. It adds bulk to the camera, as well as holds an extra battery. Now I feel like I have a real camera in my hands, instead of a small toy. It also adds some weight, so it helps to balance things when I have my 70-300mm lens on the camera, set at the 300mm focal length, which is most of the time. I know a lot of folks like smaller cameras, and lighter weight, so it's just me disliking smaller cameras. I have big hands. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Good luck with whatever you get.</blockquote>
