Spending more money on a new camera will not make you a better photographer. I have a D3400 also. If I bought a D850 I would still have the same skills as I have now. The D3400 has the same processor and sensor as the D7200 and is capable in producing the same excellent images. Concentrate on a fixed aperture 2.8 zoom to complement your 2 primes. I have a 28-75 and 17-50 both f2.8 fixed. You will be pleased with your images even in low light.

Yes, your Lens selection is fine, the 3400 is a good DX Camera, (I have a d3300.), As far as an DX upgrade, research the D5600 and the D7200, I have read good reviews can on both. Do diligent research, very important.

Sorry Charlie, without a finder, under many light conditions your multipurpose device is just shoot and pray. Been there done that. I will say, I can't make phone calls with my Nikons, but they are far superior photographically.
Is the camera industry is totally missing the boat? Maybe they need to add phone capability to their high end cameras. That way you can keep shooting and answer the phone at the same time.

So your logical upgrades are D7200,7500 or D500. D... (show quote)
So many people say don't upgrade. Why not? If they can afford to then go for it. There's more of a down side to people not upgrading. When the camera companies sell more it lowers the prices and drives competition and product development. By not upgrading the industry becomes stagnant and everyone suffers. Yes, if someone can afford to upgrade then by all means, get the best camera you can afford, and learn how to use it...

I think you should simply use what you have.
I have to agree. The time for buying a new camera, or any new equipment for that matter, is when there is something you really need or want to do that your old equipment can't do.

Uhhhh, bad idea! You finally get that gorgeous grosbeek or that elusive yellow belly sap sucker in focus and just as you are about to press the shutter button and capture your favorite subject on digital media, the stars spangled banner begins to play on your MILC phone. Dang it, what the heck does she want now. I've got the dang shopping list already. And the prized elusive bird is startled by the invasive tone oozing from your MILC phone and takes to the air. Bye bye. May as well head to the grocery store, you'll not be seeing that spooked bird for some time. 8<)

The time to buy is when one can afford to buy. Your old equipment is somewhat irrelevant. You want new and can afford new, then get new. It benefits the camera industry. Enjoy your new camera and learn how to use it.

quixdraw and mcmama - Unless you are a pro who shoots for advertising, fashion or medical research, quality cellphones with cameras are the future. And they are only getting better. Get used to it!
Blah blah blah and that would be YOUR opinion. That thinking is certainly not my opinion and I think many other UHH members will be more than happy to support my opinion. A cell phone is great for some things. Macro photography is not one of them. Photography with a specific purpose in mind such as a landscape of the Grand Canyon will be nice with a cell phone and can be great with a regular camera such as a DSLR or otherwise.
Are you ready and willing to give up any of your normal cameras and use only a cell phone? If you are not then you also support my blah blah blah theory.
I support the D7500/D7200/D500 thinking.

We could also buy postcards of things we see, it is a hobby. Tell a ham radio operator that a cell phone provides more reliable communications, or a woodworker that they can buy a table cheaper at the store. Doesn’t provide the creative outlet that doing it yourself provides.
