Don't rule out Fuji.

I went from a D90 to a refurbished D610 and have never regretted it.

If you weren’t talking smaller and lighter I’d say a D7200 or D500 will work with all your existing lenses. I shoot a D7200 and a D7000 and was eyeing a refurbished D500, but wanted something smaller for backpacking and kayaking so I went Micro 4/3 and I’m very happy with it so far. I saw Olympus mentioned and they’re great, but I went with the Panasonic LUMIX G85 because the comparable Olympus wasn’t weathersealed. The size and weight savings are gonna be a real boon for an upcoming Bahamas trip where I’m limited to 44 lbs total for luggage.

Fuji XT2 used. Lots of really good examples around. Or you could go FF and get a Sony A7ll. Sony 6300 gets rave reviews. I shoot Fuji. Just bought a used XT2 it's fabulous. A huge step up from my XT1. Highly recommended.

Charlienow, I have a D70 that I still love. I have to confess I use it on automatic and it is my quick go to if I don’t want to miss a quick shot. Does the D7200 have an automatic setting and will I still get great pictures on auto with it? I do have an FX camera but have a number of DX lenses so perhaps the D7200 would be a good upgrade for me. But it has to have automatic because this old horse isn’t looking to learn a bunch of new stuff.

I strongly recommend Fuji. I just got an X-T3 and it is fabulous. It came with an 18-55mm f/2.8-4 lens which is excellent for my intended uses. I love it he image quality achieved with this combination. I plan to put this combo to the test at Disney’s Flower and Garden Festival next week. The X-T2, it’s preseason, is also a great choice at a lesser price than the X-T3 and while I never used that body, I have read excellent reviews on it. Since purchasing the X-T3, my D7200 has gotten little use. I am really impressed with the Fuji brand, and find it funny that six months ago I would have never considered it.

I am surprised and shocked you have not seen a Nikon solution that is highly recommended. How about the Nikon D5600, D7200, D750, D500, F4 to start with with many more in-between. There are numerous Nikons available that are rated top of the line and which will use your current lens(es).

Other cameras are certainly the equal of Nikon, Canon and Sony to name a couple, but Nikon is still rated with the top of the line cameras.

I would suggest you check out what is available at a camera store to see what feels good to you.

Good luck on your search,

Dennis

I don't no your financial situation, but I did the same thing a few years ago...I went from D90 to first D7000 because of the lens I owned. I didn't like it and returned it...then the D7100 came out. I got the same results in photo quality and returned it. I waited saved a few more bucks and got the D750. I couldn't be happier. At first I had a 24-85 lens and traded it off for the 24-120 as my walk around lens. It has taken some outstanding photos in my humble opinion. I've had the D750 now just a couple of months short of 3 years and so far I haven't had an urge to upgrade to any of the latest and greatest gear. I shoot a lot of indoor event stuff here in my community at our clubhouse. Some of those shots are available light as it mostly likely a concert in the clubhouse. I'm super happy with my D750....good luck with your choice....by the way I still have the D90. My wife uses it from time to time, but mostly sits on the shelf. I loved the D90 too much to part with it and it makes a good back up in the event ?????

...I had my Z6 in an Art Council meeting in Huntington Beach and was checking out the silent "shutter" (j/k) while folks were showing their different pieces to the group. The guy next to me, a D90 owner, was monitoring. After seeing the results of many of the shots I took, I think he was looking to upgrade. Nice that you can use the many Nikon lenses, but not so nice that the DX variety do not take advantage of the full frame sensor...still...

BBG - the D90 has the largest VF I've ever seen, or used. The only Nikon camera in the line which has a VF equal to the one in the D90 - is the D500 - their top DX camera, but it's both bigger and heavier, and costs almost two grand. The follow-on to your camera, was the D7000. It upped the Res from 12 in yours to 16MP. … The follow-on to that was the D7100 - a very popular camera. The later D7200 - upped the buffer, and added true Wi-Fi, but is essentially the same camera, with a 24MP sensor, as well. The current D7500 - the top model in that line, now - is smaller, and lighter (no metal) and uses the same 20MP sensor in the D500. It's said to be vastly improved over the D7200. It sells for around $1300, today.

The Sony a6000 series are all very capable cameras, too. But, you look thru the EVF on the left side of the body - instead of in the center - which many find disconcerting. It's also - quite a bit smaller than the one in the D90 - yet another thing you might wish to consider. My recommendation, if you already have Nikkor glass and wish to keep the costs down - go for the D7500, if you can manage it.

If I had had a D90, I would probably go up to a D500 or D750. I am a Nikon girl, however, that Fuji X-T3 is sooooooo tempting. I rented the X-T2 last summer and had a lot of fun with it.

Eve - I, already - half-heartedly, though, I must say - suggested the D500 - since it uses the same very large and very bright VF as one can find in the D90. The others in that series - D7000/D7100/D7200/D7500 - have a slightly smaller VF, to which, he might have a hard time, adjusting. But, at least - that would keep him in the Crop-Sensor Field. The D750, whilst a quite respectable option - is an FX camera, which means - needing different, larger, and more expensive glass.

The Fuji X-T3 is also a fine camera - APS-C, and - the first one to break out of the 24MP rut - going to 26MP!

Chris T Loc: from England across the pond to New England

Red - the ONLY DX Nikon which does NOT have a Full Auto setting is the D500 - aimed at Pros. It not only doesn't have Full Auto, it also lacks a built-in flash. But you could always set it on Auto ISO and P, if desired.

texaseve Loc: TX, NC and NH

I hadn't read all the other replies, although I usually do.... oops. My reasons for the D750 choice was that a full frame always makes such NICE photos, and the 750 has a nice "Auto" button, which I like for those days when I am lazy. I can also hand a camera with an "Auto" setting to my other half and he can enjoy taking some snaps while I do.

The D90 would be a nice back-up camera to have if not donated.

Dennis … you left out the D5!!! … Oops! … also - the D7500 … certainly the best of the Prosumer line!!!
