[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 316703, member: 15356"] Welcome to nikonites! :D I think choosing a camera body is a personal choice, that needs to be based on your needs. If your wanting to do a lot of large prints then higher MPs should be a big consideration. But if your mostly just posting shots or using them to view on your computer or making regular sized prints, the MPs above 12 MPs isn't a real concern in my opinion. But this is just one thing out of many things that should be considered when making your choice of camera body. Now to me the durability, feel, and quick button access for changes in settings were what I was after. Where as the 3xxx series and the 5xxx series are menu based, lighter but less durable bodies,newer sensors which it a real plus, but lacking a built in AF motor a big negative. So it's all on needs and preferences! :D I hope you'll love whatever Nikon model and lens selection you choose! :D [/QUOTE]
