I'm contemplating a new camera-related purchase, and I am trying to decide between upgrading from a D70 to a D90, or expanding my focal length range by getting the Nikon 12-24 lens. I do a combination of wildlife (mainly birds) and landscape photography (along with the requisite pictures of my kids). My current gear is a D70, a Nikkor 20-85 f2.8-4 and a Nikkor 80-400 f 4.5-5.6 VR. I'm somewhat torn, because I like the idea of a nice wide lens (and I no longer have that with the DX sensor) for landscapes, but I also like the idea of the increased resolution of the CMOS sensor. I'd be curious to know what others think the better purchase would be.
Thanks in advance,
Matthew
p.s. I know the real answer is to get both, that's not in the budget now...
