| Avian, I think if your satisfied IQ wise with your current setup, the biggest difference you will see by moving up to the DA*'s is in speed. The two kit lenses (18-55 and 50-200) have a relatively small maximum aperture and if youre shooting in low light, you will have difficulty acheiving fast shutter speeds necessary for certain subjects. Also the DA*'s have SDM, while many say that the AF isnt any faster, it is definately MUCH quieter. |
