Hey everyone
Ive been thinking of upgrading to a Nikon D90. I currently own a Nikon D50 with the 18-55 non-vr kit lens, and a 70-300 G series lens and I have been pretty happy with it. My only real gripes are the lack of true SDHC support (cards over 2GB in size), and the 2.5fps. The SDHC isnt really an issue anymore as I have purchased a few 2GB cards. But having a larger card would be nice. The 2.5fps tends to be a bit slow. My son is now walking and getting into more things, so I think the higher fps would be helpful. But again, its not a real deal breaker. Im just wondering if there are any real major advantages of upgrading to a D90 over the D50. I dont really care about the Live View or the Video capabilities of the D90 so those points are mute in my book. Or should I look into getting a couple of better lenses like an 18-108-VR (the one the D90 comes with), or the 18-200-VR and a 50mm lens, and then upgrade the body in a couple of years when the DXX or whatever it is comes out. Thoughts, suggestions, ideas? Thanks!!
