Hmm...

Should I upgrade to a D90? There's one going off in B&S for $830, if I can sell my D5000 for around $700 and upgrade my body, I can use AF-D lenses in the future...

Hmm i feel its not much of an upgrade leh, also not very often you will use AF lenses, so far i only use 2, 50mm f1.8 and my dad's old 28-80 film lens.

That's not an upgrade, unfortunately...

I want to get a Tokina 11-16 in the future, and probably a few more AF-D lenses. I'm also getting a little frustrated about the grip of my D5000, no flash high speed sync for outdoor fill flash which makes it terrible for outdoor events, and I feel like playing around with wireless flash also.

D5000 doesn't support wireless flash? hmm seems like you have quite a few reasons to change haha but you won't get the flexible viewfinder with the D90

edit: LCD i mean

I do use the articulating screen at times, but I don't think I'll miss it much. AF is too slow in live view anyway, and even if you use it to frame your shots without a tripod, by the time the mirror flips down and up again, your framing is gone. I'll just lie on the ground if I need to. And wireless flash is not the main issue, it's high speed sync.

Really ridiculous stuff Nikon does with their entry level bodies buyers. There is no:
-AF motor
-Flash commander
-Flash high speed sync
-Battery grip support
-Front dial
-ISO button (seriously, WTF??!!)
-Custom white balance (or at least I still can't figure out how to set custom WB)
-High resolution screen

hmm thats quite important and i have nvr used live view and i think i will rarely use it even after my upgrade. If D90 is what you need the upgrading might not be such a bad idea

I think a few models doesn't support bracketing as well right?

Hahaha why specifically JBP?

Please go to JBP in the dark as spreehopper is only active at night when the birds are sleeping.
