I don't know guys... wouldn't you be better off with another lens?

My advice to you:
- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.
I don't know guys... wouldn't you be better off with another lens?
yes of course. it's the prudent thing to do but a new body can also make the act of photography easier. my longest lens right now is the tamron 17-50mm. there are times when i wish i had a longer reach so to your point, yes a new lens is also on my wanted list.

i understand your point. i would certainly love to own a few more lenses...a 12-24mm and the 70-200VR, for example. but my 50mm prime and 18-200VR at the moment are good enough for most of the stuff i do. do i need a new body? probably not...but i'm at the point where i want to upgrade my body before investing in another lens, even knowing that the body gets trashed much sooner than a good lens.

I'd honestly invest more into good glass before looking at other bodies. I've seen amazing images taken with the D50, and don't see why one would absolutely need to upgrade. There are definitely some benefits that can't be achieved with PP'ing, or faster glass like higher FPS, better AF, metering w/manual lenses, etc, but not everyone will need all of that. I know I don't(got a D2H, and now im selling it and much prefer using my D70/s).

Anyone have any impressions of the D60? From what I saw at the store when I was playing with the D60 and the XTi demo models, is that the D60 is one SOLID camera. And the bundled VR kit lens is very nice.
Seriously leaning towards the D60 with 18-55 DX VR lens...

For what it does I'm sure it's real nice. Just make sure that what it does is what you want out of a camera.
In other news I've been playing around with my 35mm F/2.0 Fixed Focal Length nikon nikkor lens.
This thing is beautiful. Very light weight, and very easy to operate. It is very sharp. Easily comparable to my Nikkor 50mm Fixed Focal Length. And the colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. I was out in dull lighting, and the colors just popped! It's not often that I say to myself "Wow, that looked better than it did in person"...... but I find myself saying that with this lens. Wild!

Um, just a bit confused. Care to explain? I'm new to DSLR's, so if I do get one it'll be my first SLR of any kind.

The D60 doesn't have the AF Motor though... something to consider. I ended up getting rid of my D40 for that very reason.

Yeah, that is one issue with them. I'm not sure how many lenses I'll be getting (definitely the kit 18-55mm VR, and the 55-200mm VR tele) but I want a macro and a prime, too, and no AF-S versions of those lenses have come out.
