My first advice to you Ron is NEVER buy used gear from B&H. They may be to the penny the same as Adorama on new gear,
but on used they are 15-25% higher across the board. I don't know about YOU, but I NEED that extra money. I used to be a
huge advocate for B&H, and I still love em, but on used, they can't TOUCH Adorama.

SECOND, unless you need the low light capability that a D7000 brings, you don't need to upgrade. Image quality is close
to the same, and yet noticeably better...but perhaps not worth 6oo bucks. I just picked up a D7000 for $569 because my
spare NEEDS to be able to do 3200 standing on it's head and 6400 in a pinch. I don't like pushing a D90 past 1600 under
any circumstances, and I am not a fan of images over 1200. They blow out the colors and bloom something fierce. And
I tend to agree with Justin, a New unit is only a hundred bucks more, although I needed that hundred and went "E" grade.
It has 1400 shutter actuations on it. IT IS A NICE CAMERA, but I use it for my small bidness. For pleasure, a D90 is still
a great camera. Save up for that D700 when they break below $1000 this summer or $900 in the holiday season. I swear
in 10 years that D700 is still going to be a camera to recon with. A true classic.
