There is always a compromise one faces when it comes to upgrading quality, it's the same in every field. Better equipment that will give you a maybe 10% raise in IQ can cost from 4 to 10 times your actual equipment. So one really has to consider the costs of real upgrade vs the cost of placebo upgrade. Of course Nikon and all other marketing teams will try to make you believe that you need the latest body to improve your shots where very often what you need is better lenses. But they do come with cost.</p></blockquote><p></p>
