[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 461041, member: 9252"] Welcome to the forum! I'm just down the road from you, in York... My wife & I love visiting your town! I guess it depends firstly on your lenses... The faster the better - I would say the best for what you are shooting would be a 35 or 50 mm F1.8, they would be the cheapest upgrade if you don't have them already. After that, I'd save longer and see if you can go full frame. I have the D7100, and while it will perform much better at high ISO than your D80, I wouldn't call it ideal fr low light. I have taken a lot of shots at ISO 4000 - 6400 and they are noisy but usable with lots of post-production - I'm not sure I would sell any shots I'd taken at that ISO, but then I'm certainly no master at noise reduction! Given the size of investment, maybe consider borrowing or renting a body for a gig and see how you get on with it? [/QUOTE]
