[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 338070, member: 9240"] Lots of good reasoning here. Personally, I can't quantify the value of having one camera vs. the other. Both are tools, and when you buy up you are either doing so to get features you need or will perhaps one day use, or because you believe that price is synonymous with image quality. I disagree with the latter as a hard and fast measure, so my answer to the question will always be, "Look at the difference in features and figure out whether or not you will be missing anything you want or need, or will want or need as your photography grows. If not, then it's probably not worth the extra money. If so, how frustrated will you be by not having them, and place a dollar-per-frustration-episode value on them and see if it exceeds the difference." If you're serious about photography my experience is that you'll never regret buying more camera than you need (unless you're just greedy and want [I]another[/I] body), but you'll always regret buying less. Whether or not you regret buying more than you can [I]afford[/I] is a very personal situation and only you can answer that one. [/QUOTE]
