[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1182774, member: 45350"] I really like my D5000, but to be honest LV AF stinks, which combined with the neat mirrorless body is what attracted me to Sony. But, I agree, because of lens selection and accessories (especially 3rd party) not keen to go for anything other than Nikon or Canon. My first choice honestly would have been Canon because I have always liked their P&S cameras if they had had an articulating LCD when I bought mine. That brings me to the other factor making me doubt my choice. I bought the D5000 over the D90 because of the LCD, and gave up a large portion of the Nikon lens family because the D5000 lacks an internal focus motor. At the time, it was a trade off I was willing to make. Now, I'm looking at the D60 and thinking I could have both, and it is tempting me. I guess the things that are stopping me are 1) I will lose money on the deal (not a lot, but some), 2) I don't know anything about Canon lenses, but have a pretty good idea what I do and don't want from Nikon (or compatible), 3) Fear that the day after I do this Nikon will announce a mirrorless body with D7000 level performance and an articulating LCD, 4) The fact I really do like my D5000, and last but not least, 5) coming up with a good justification to the wife for the change (and additional cost). Not absolutely required, but will help keep peace around the house. :) [/QUOTE]
