<p>I am reading with interest all the posts related to the original question, as I am facing a similar problem.....I would like to improve my system, actually I have a CANON 400 with Canon and Sigma lenses and thiking to improve the system. I am an amateur photographer and as you can see from my galleries here, my main interest in photography relates to Flowers (I am particularly fond of Macros) and Still life compositions, this is my range of ''photographic production'' so in a word the majority of my shots are ''studio'' ones. I would like to change brand, not because I am not satisfied with CANON, simply because I am very tempted by Nikon and eventhough this will mean to add new lenses, I will for sure continue to keep both the camera bodies. So now my question for you, dear friends.....under the circumstances above is really essential to pass to a Full frame camera (the D700 is really temptimg me a lot...) or the D300 would be enough for my exigencies? For sure I would like to improve with a semi professional camera, not spending a fortune..., the range of price for the NIKON D700 would be the maximum I can spend for this ''photographic passion'' (considering also the budget for a couple of good lenses). I have heard enthusiastic words about Full frame but also other theories that are causing a little of confusion in my mind....<br>

Thanks to all for the help and suggestions<br>
