[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 630642, member: 15675"] I totally agree with this. My current issue is, I want to sell the D7000, since I did decide to go to the D500. However you can take the same level of picture with a "gray market" D3300 at 285 EUR. At that price I do not want to sell the "very competent camera" so: First of all, thanks for this. It confirms what I knew, but I needed a reminder, I should keep the D7000 and push it at special projects, challenge myself to use the "very competent camera" closer to its limits. However I only partially agree: 1) Clearly great pictures have been taken for 100s of year, clearly without new tech. However new tech does help, taking birds in flight is so much easier with the D500, that for that photography topic it is a game changer. Since I have the D500, why go back to the D7000? The D500 has a different performance level. 2) What seems to hold me back at the moment (I could be wrong) is work or to be more precise "time". As many others do I try to compensate by buying material. However material does not give me pictures, nor experience. I do spend money on going to photography opportunities and my goal is to save up to stop my "day job" early in my life, to combine some of my passions and become more active in them. So again thanks for the input, I might not be able to sell my D7000, but I might be able to push myself with the D7000 to award winning pictures and hold off buying something else I do not need.
