[QUOTE="RobH, post: 40585, member: 8482"] I made the exact upgrade you're considering. For me, the clincher was the ability to use favorite, old lenses from my Nikon film days, a consideration you probably don't have. PJL's summary of reasons to upgrade is pretty good. I'd add these, if any are important to you: Not only able to use older, AF lenses, but to use the camera's meter with older, non-AF AI lenses Depth of field preview button, not on the D5000 but the D7000 has it Able to use an external mic shooting vids. The in-camera audio sucks; if you're shooting video, this could be big About 30% higher resolution, if you need detailed, larger prints, or need to crop Better tougher build and weather sealing. The biggest thing you'll give up, in my opinion, is the articulated screen [/QUOTE]
