[QUOTE="riverside, post: 154480, member: 14054"] The [URL="http://www.adorama.com/INKD7000.html"]current price[/URL] of a new D7000 body is running ~$897. Most of the online deals with trusted sellers offer it with the kit 18-105 for [URL="http://www.adorama.com/INKD7000K1.html"]another $100[/URL] or ~$997. Those same sellers offer a new 18-105mm for ~$250. I could see a quick eBay sale of $200 for a NIB 18-105 for $200, a $100 profit, but..... D5000 bodies alone don't show much action in the eBay sold section above ~$200. D5000 with the 18-55 bring ~$300-400 (all dependent on condition/shutter count). In summary, I'd sell the D5000 with the 18-55, buy the D7000 kit w/18-105, sell the 18-105 and since you have the 55-300 buy a 35 f/1.8g for ~$200. All that should leave you with a few bucks start towards a fast zoom to complement the 55-300. You'll like the 35. [/QUOTE]
