I have 6 years with a D3000. It's beaten to hell, and last winter it was refusing to shoot when around 0°C (which wasn't the case usually).
I only have the lame kit lens 18-55mm and a 50mm 1.8 D which is a pain in the ass with this camera due to the lack of af-motor, an SB-600 which sadly can't be triggered wireless because the D3000 doesn't have "commander mode", and an ND and a CP filter (not child pizza).
It has a few hot pixels already (nothing a touch up can't fix) and while back then the ISO performance was great, today it feels lacking (muddy).
So, I'm already feeling a bit of frustration when taking pictures under less than ideal situations.
I'm between getting a D300 (around 250€) or a D7000 (around 300€).
I kinda think the 50€ jump is negligible but maybe someone with experience can advise me on the real life stuff with either of them and either tell me the D7000 is only a spec sheet warrior or a true performer.
Or better advice and neither of them or whatever.
