[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 572392, member: 34269"] I think you have hit what I used to call the dreaded "analysis paralysis". It is when you get so much information and you so want to make the "RIGHT" decision. It becomes difficult to decide between the wants and the needs. If this were one of my old product development meetings I would have a decision matrix on the board and asking folks to decide the real "must haves" - the things that you are willing to pay money for. I know what I would do if I had it to do again. I would buy the body I could afford and still get the lenses I need to do what I wanted in my photographs. It took me a while to figure that out, But I have the D7200, Sigma 10-20 mm F/3.5 for landscape and architecture, Nikon 200-500 for birds. Those two lens spend most of the time on my camera. I also have a Tamron for indoor event stuff that I do and another Sigma that I use for walk around. I also have a 50 1.8 that gets little if any use. There are other lenses I want, but what I have keeps me busy shooting every day that I am up to it even if it is just to get out in the yard and walk around shooting clouds and landscapes. The thing is... buying the kit is the easy part... learning how to use it to capture images that make you smile is the hard part. You cannot start that process till you pull the trigger on the kit. I wish you well with your decision and look forward to seeing your first photos you post. [/QUOTE]
