[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 528632, member: 13556"] Based upon what I've read from you here, I'd stay with the D7000 and buy glass, but possibly not right away. While your zoom has a good range of focal lengths, it is rather slow, especially at the long end. Therefore, were it me, I'd look at a fast zoom such as the 70-200 f4 or 70-200 f2.8, or the 24-120 f4 that you mentioned earlier. If those are out of range for you, I'd opt for a prime in a longer focal length, such as an 85mm f1.8. If you are willing to, look at the used and refurbished market, especially from established reputable retailers. But do your homework (research) on both the lens and the retailer if you go this route. Remember, as long as you keep it in good shape, good glass is going to stay the course. We're not yet where bodies won't eventually become obsolete for one reason or another. WM [/QUOTE]
