[QUOTE="KennethHamlett, post: 579, member: 22"] OK, let me ask a question. You currently have a D3000, what is preventing you from taking the kinds of pictures you want to take with your current camera? The camera has 10.2 effective megapixels, shoots in full auto and full manual modes and has an ISO range of 100-3200. When it comes down to it, if you aren't shooting for professional reproduction purposes, what will any of the above mentioned cameras do for you that your D3000 will not do? Taking great portraits is not a function of the camera, it is a skill of the photographer. Henri Cartier Bresson was one of the greatest people photographers ever. His camera didn't matter, it was his technique. I urge all would be photographers to become photographers FIRST and then worry about equipment later. Cameras don't take photographs, people take photographs. I'm sure this isn't the answer you wanted to hear and I'm not trying to belittle your desire for new equipment, but learn to shoot first. When I went to photography school we learned 35mm film photography on the Pentax K1000. A completely manual camera--no autoexposure, no autofocus, no auto anything.
