Hi Everyone. I am a proud owner of a D40, which I bought 5 years ago. I loved it when I first got it but then my interest in it waned over the years until recently my friend let me borrow his 300mm fixed lens-- I am in love with photography again!!
Anyways, I am trying to figure out if I should start buying these new lenses (either a 55-200mm or 70-300mm) to start exploring more forms of photography; or, I was thinking about buying a new camera to start fresh with these new lenses. Specifically I am interested in these new EVIL cameras that Sony and Olympus put out. I just like compactness.
I know the price is definitely an issue. But my questions to everyone are:
1) Should I start buying lenses for a camera that might kick the bucket in a couple years (months?). I know also that Nikon will always be producing cameras, so I couldn't go wrong. But I am very interested in those tiny little cameras by Sony etc. In which case, my other question is:
2) Will Nikon be coming out with a camera that will compete with the Nex 7 or OMD-E5 sometime soon?
If the answer for no (2) is yes, then itll make (1) irrelevant. But if the answer is either no or unsure, then I have to think if its worth buying a lenses for a camera that may die, and then I am locked into Nikons that are a little bulky for my taste...
and yes, I know this post makes me seem like im not a true nikonite!
