<p>Hi Jennifer, this is Mark from Singapore. I am currently in the same dilemma as you (last May 2009), except that I have the D300s. My shooting preferences / needs are about the same as yours, children (indoor and outdoor), groups, portraits, events, etc.<br>
Also caught in between the 17-55 and 24-70 choice. Both lenses are superb and pricey here. Hence, making the decision was a little retarded...... :)<br>
Was reading through everyone's advice, guides, experiences and it has been really helpful. Like to know what you finally decided on in the end? Kind of like reading a book and did not know what happened in the end. Would love to find out the answer. :)</p>
If you were me, what would you buy next?

Hi Ruth, I actually started off with the D300s after a long break and contemplating on which body to start back again. A later while, I
jumped on and got the 24-70 f2.8, although most would say that it defeats the purpose financially and performance. Well, I must say that I
am enjoying every shot. Images are super sharp, good control of distortion (especially at 24mm) and it a breeze to use. 900g is a little
intimidating at first, but I bet you will grow into it... Why not the DX equivalent?? 17-55 f2.8? Well, I have plans to go FX someday, maybe
the successor of D700 or Even the D3/s. That is a little stretch for me at the moment but would definately go FX one day to yield the best
out of my 24-70 f2.8.
Well, hope that has helped you in making your decision or plans forward. Just note, glass last forever. Bodies come and go...:)
