Anyone planning on upgrading their camera bodies this year?

13 years 3 months ago #18429 by Gabriel Photos
A few weeks ago I made a thread about either getting a new camera body or new lens. What a tough back and forth but I have finally decided that I'm going to get a new camera body.

I think I'm going to go up to the D300, what do you think? I currently have a D80.

Who else is upgrading camera bodies this year, what do you have and what do you think you will move up to?

I'm done with bodies for a long time. Looking at glass and filters.

I might get another body, as soon as I figure out which one.

I'm starting to look at nice gently used D200's Price is really dropping on them.

Also D300's are getting cheaper too, I'm still at 6.1M with my D70. I do like the 1/500 flash sync on the D70 though, probably not going to sell it for that reason.

It is what it is.

D300 is a good camera IMHO, but unless you're buying 2nd hand you won't be able to get one as it's been replaced with the D300s.

As for me, I think I might buy a body or two this year. Probably one crop (waiting for the D400) and one FF (waiting for the D700 replacement).

Till then my D3s will be more than enough for me. ;)

If I can afford it, whenever Nikon releases more Nikon D7000 I will be buying one.

Just added a D700, so will most likely just upgrade to more glass this year.
