I am a competent amateur. Shoot for fun. Display photos on an 8 X 10 digital picture frame in my office for folks to look at (MD office)
Any prints I make anymore (rare) are 8X10 or less
No sports
No video
Do some pics of grandchild but mainly I do photo on travels (go to the UK for family), flowers, landscape, architecture, some macro work

Does spending up to $2000.00 (or less) for a new camera get me anything for what I do?

My sense is that this is money not well.

Thanks

It may help if you explain your thought process a little. Nobody knows why you are thinking of upgrading, or what you are lacking or feel you are missing. Hence the responses are all over the place.

I suggest you upgrade only if that camera fails or if there is something you want to do but can't because of the limitations of the camera. If it is doing the job and you are satisfied with the results, save the expense and spoil your grand kids.

I think you may want to look at the Mirrorless cameras - Fujifilm & Sony. Their images are fantastic right out of the camera. They are generally smaller than traditional systems and easier to carry around and a good value also.

What would you do with a newer camera that you can't do with your present camera? Is it important to you?

Answer the two questions and you're on your way to making a good decision.
