I think the upgrade will serve you well. In fact, I have just done the same thing, purchasing a refurbished D610 from Nikon USA, due for delivery tomorrow. For me, I had to work within a budget, and while I had planned to wait until spring, a sale they had this past weekend was too good to pass up. Now I must start saving for some new glass.
I feel the same way. The deal was too good to pass up. My 610 will be here on Friday. I want to tell you guys something however. The D-50 was and is an Amazing Entry Level Camera from Nikon. A little "Long in the Tooth" but those teeth still shine Pearly White. New comers to DSLR's that want to buy used should always be given the D-50 option! When Rockwell advises putting D-50's on ice for a D-40 he is nuts. Most often I agree with him but not in this case. The body motor alone makes the D-50 a more valuable camera than the D-40 !!! Will post some 610 pictures soon !!!!!
