[QUOTE="pjl, post: 5997, member: 606"] If I had the 1200 (us) to spend, I'd do it. Body only, keep your lenses. The D5000 uses some of the guts (mpixels, etc.) of the D90; the D7000 is the current full upgrade to the D90 and ranks VERY close to the D300S in performance. The 7000 will get you the ability to auto focus with older lenses (AF and AF-D lenses) and will be faster than the 5000 with AF-S lenses, give you much better low light ability (higher iso), better live view. You can sell the 5000 for a decent price and spend the $$$ on better lenses. The lenses you have now are fine for many types of shots. As your wife increases her understanding and ability to use her camera, she's gonna want better (faster) lenses. Heck, you can get her the 7000 and keep the 5000 for yourself! Can't help you w/the D700; it's a full frame vs. the D5/7000 Dx frames. Your lenses will work on the D700 if you decide to go there. Great hobby for a couple to get into! [/QUOTE]
