With the new D7500 hitting the streets and me diving into 35mm SLR cameras recently, I started thinking.
Yes, technology advances rapidly, but taking a look at the Nikon DSLR timeline below compared to the SLR timeline (Source: Wikpedia), new cameras are hitting stores so frequently, perhaps too frequently?
I came up with a poll below to find out why Nikonites upgrade camera bodies. We aren’t talking about adding a second body, these should be HONEST answers to why YOU upgraded a body with a new model. This poll is for those who buy NEW and second hand/refurbished. This is about replacing your current body with a newer model and why.
I'll start. I upgraded from a D40 to a Nikon refurbished D7100 because I needed better low light performance to shoot indoor sports and concerts.
