The worst thing about the early DSLRs was they were all APS sensors. I had the D70 for the longest time because I refused to "upgrade" to another APS sensor body, and I had invested stupid amounts of money in nikkor lenses (most of which were full frame). They then released the D600 a couple of years ago which was still expensive, but for a full frame camera, $2000 was cheap ... if I ever find the limits of that camera, I'll be super suprised.

Once you're paying decent money for camera gear, the lenses become more important.

My favourites are my 50mm 1:1.8, a 24mm 1:1.4 and my 80-200mm f.28, all nikkor. That 24mm is ridiculous in low light.
