Hello, Iv been on this website quite a bit the last few months but I decided to make an account when I found myself with a bit of a decision to make.
So a year ago I purchased my first DSLR and that was a Nikon D3200. Iv been shooting a lot in the last year or so and recently decided I wanted to step it up a bit. I came into some money and I feel like with the amount I shoot Its a great investment to upgrade now. Naturally I was thinking maybe a D5300 but felt like going with the D7xxx line would be better, So that's the way I was leaning. Until a good friend of mine told me that if I was looking for a new camera he would sell me his D800 body brand new ( shutter count under 100, I know this for a fact ) for 1200 and he might go a bit lower. Now that's the jam I am in. Do I do the biggest upgrade ever and have a camera I feel would last me a really long time, but still have to buy lenses or go with a significantly lower unit that I can already use my lenses with.
Thanks for your time in advance and any input you have!
