As in "It's that good"?I had my D40 for ten years; the D750 is probably my last main body.
This is probably one the best replies yet, at least to me.MV, what got me started on this was a friend giving me his old (Canon) 20D, along with a 17-55m lens. I actually had it in my possession for six months or so before I even approached it. On Christmas Day I sat down and started studying it.
It took me all of about two weeks playing with it before I started thinking about the things I wished it had or could do. I found 80% of those things in an inexpensive upgrade of two model versions. (Yes: I upgraded from a fourteen-year-old model to an eleven-year-old model.)
In my case the features were... uhm... "utility" and convenience features, such as a more useful LCD display, a button I could dedicate to back-button focus, auto-ISO and settings memories. Things I found myself wishing for as I'd used the 20D. (I gained some actual photo-taking performance improvements at the same time, but those weren't the impetus.)
The thing is: The improvements I seeked won't really do much, if anything, to improve the photos I take. They will simply make the camera more convenient or more fun to use. If I want to improve the photos I take it's the gear between my ears I need to improve, not the gear I hold in my hands.
This is what I was more-or-less getting to in my first post in this thread: What is it you seek? If you seek better, more powerful gadgets for the sake of having better, more powerful gadgets then by all means: Have at it. But if what you're seeking is better photos I suspect you're looking in the wrong direction.
There are things I think I'm going to want to do with photography that will demand some eventual equipment additions, but they'll be in lenses and speedlights. I figure this eleven-year-old 40D body will carry me a good, long way. As for the lenses, in particular: I won't be needing those until I exhaust the possibilities with what I have already.
This is my perspective. As they say: YMMV.
