While I have used my D90 plenty for travel around the US, more sporadically, I do not know if my future travel warrants an upgrade at this time. I haven't kept track of the latest with photography.I primarily shoot landscapes, exploring cities , subways, street photography, and architecture outside and indoors. I dart around without a typical camera bag, a bit of just wandering around. I hardly carry a tripod and for these trips, only a Gorilla Pod. Everything is handheld or light pole supported shots. I wonder if an upgrade will improve low light indoor and night shots enough to warrant a camera body upgrade, or should I just buy better lenses?I have a D90 with: 18-105mm AF-S DX ED VR f/3.5-5.6G (generation 1 I believe) as daily lens 50mm f/1.8D prime 35mm AF-S f/1.8GI mostly carry my 18-105mm and 35mm on travel. However I find I need better low light performance on a wider lens. Especially given Italy's narrow streets and indoor wide cathedrals, should I purchase a wider lens and forgo the 35mm which is cropped too much anyway for indoors?My options are the following with a preferred budget of $600 max lens, full price body upgrade if drastic upgrade, and maybe I'll scrape enough to get both if the wider lens is still important for Italy:1) Just upgrade the body from D90 to D7500 and look for a sale in the next 18 months?2) Only get a wide lens? (What suggestions for at max $600 and open to 3rd party options)3) Do both? (Would the upgrade and new lens really worth the ~$1800+?)4) Wildcard: Look for second hand, older 2010 - 2015 full frame body for the larger sensor and crop the photos with my DX lenses?I have plenty of time to look out for flash sales in the next 18 months, but I'm trying to plan out ahead of time what to look out for.Thank you!</blockquote>
