[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 610985, member: 24285"] As with most questions the answer is "it depends". If you are happy with the D90 image quality then you'll get more photography options with a longer lens. The 17mm on the Sigma is pretty wide but on a DX you may want to go super wide with something in the 10mm range. But 200 isn't that long. However given your list of types of photographs maybe it is long enough for your needs. So based on this limited bit of info I'd vote for an ultra wide. Can be had for $600 US, and if you considered the used market from a good retailer who backs up their stuff (e.g. B&H and others) then you can get a very nice ultra wide for that price. As for the bonus of going to the D7100/7200 you are jumping ahead a lot in terms of camera tech, more pixels, better low light (higher ISO capacity) and improved autofocus and more. But bottom line both the D90 and D7100 are nice DX bodies with an internal motor and if you are getting image quality you enjoy from your D90 you may gain more photographic options with a wider lens. And there is an oft quoted saying that goes something like 'camera bodies come and go but good glass lasts" [/QUOTE]
