[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 572563, member: 34269"] You will always be able to find a reason to say no. It is easy and it takes no courage, and you will always be right. There is always a reason NOT to take a risk. As long as you talk about it you never have to find out if you are even able to take a photo that anyone would want to look at. The camera is not the solution, it is the tool that allows you to try and take a good photo. My last suggestion... Go out on this forum and look at the pictures folks take in the style you want to take, like the landscape thread. Go to the 365 challenge and the 52 challenge under general photography. Look at the photos and what they were shot with. You can hoover your mouse over the lower left corner of the photo and learn what was used to take it. Do the same on Flickr. Take that comparison that Don shared and do a decision matrix on the two bodies and use the photos to select the lenses you like. I know you think that this purchase is the hard part... but that is so far from the truth. The hard part is figuring out how to use the camera.... light... composition... a steady hand and a good eye. That's where the investment is made. [/QUOTE]
