I use the Nikon D7000, I would love to have the D3s! But like the comment above stated, it's better to get top notch glass. If you are a pro the D3s or even the D4 is a no brainer. Nikon is going to announce the D600 soon, it's rumored to be a entry full frame camera for 1500-2000 bucks. Now that's something with in reach for amateurs like myself
