I have also been toying with the idea of upgrading lately, but hadn't really decided on what I wanted. I ended up getting a used Nikon D80 which was in great shape, and didn't break the bank. I haven't been able to get out much, or haven't wanted to since its toooo cold lately. Here are a couple of shots snapped from the warmth of the car, or with the car really close by. Nothing really great, i've had it a week and have almost mastered the settings (yeah right)
This is my favorite shot of the day, which was actually taken by my wife with the old camera! I really like it for some reason...
