thats a difficult question

)) i always get fooled by more megapixels just like anyone else...

)) so i think i would go for d90. or even something like sony a300/350 (if you don't have too many nikon lenses already).

on the other hand back to the actual question

... it all depends on what kinda photography u are after. a 500mm lens sure sounds very nice on the other hand if you want it just because of a moment of hype then it will be a waste of money. u can get a decent 10.2mpixel digital slr with a couple of decent lenses for 1k.

well i think i would go with a slightly lower model of nikon that has 10.2mpixels. OR

for 1k .. i would get a350 (around $700). add a 50mm f/1.7 for $100. and a 70-300 sigma apo 3.5/5.6 for $150 on ebay or local. and $100 for a vivitar or another cheap TTL flash.

then you could still sell ur entire nikon kit and get urself a nice G series zoom lens. In the end you would have a 14mpixel dslr with 18-70mm, 50mm portrait and a 70-300mm decent quality carry around zoom lens, and a G series high quality lens.

but again thats me

))) new stuff always gets me excited.
