”Should I get a new camera?”
http://enthusiastphotographer.com/2012/08/28/should-i-get-a-new-camera/
I agree with what this blogger has to say . . . and have come to the same conclusions in all my reading about the CF cards VS SD cards. I only wish the D800 had a second SD slot instead of the CF slot.

I have the D3000 and I’m sticking with that for a while – at least until I can afford to upgrade – lol
I hear ya! I’ve been saving for awhile hence my big upgrade. And . . . and besides . . . it’s not the camera that MAKES the photographer . . . but quality glass and gear can sure make a difference in the quality of what you put out. I want to get in to Stock and Fine Art . . . so that’s why I upgraded. I would have just bought a good lens otherwise.
No it isn’t, although I do believe that a good camera can help as you can get some shots with larger lenses – or smaller ones
yes – very true!
I was told by a professional magazine photographer that had an amazing camera .. I still want it.. that I wanted her camera and she said, “yeah but when I travel I use yours.. ” so well.. I’m sticking with my little point n shoot.. though I still want hers.. ha.
I can understand why she said that . . . all this equipment is heavy! We’re going to Hawaii in Nov and trying to figure out how to pack it all along with us!
Well what she said was… unless you are doing a magazine or ad shoot or if you are going to blow up a picture to a large size, you really only needed a small point and shoot with a good zoom.. optical being better than digital.. especially now adays with such good photo editing.. it’s good to have a nice camera for family functions or very intense photo taking but for traveling just a nice small camera.. I’ve had great luck with my sony cybershot and photo editing.. I just bought an upgraded model because I got sand in my lens and went from a 10 zoom to an 18 zoom and will be going to Lima next weekend.. so I’ll see if it was worth the upgrade.. though I still want a big fancy major clicking camera. haa
