I have a Nikon D2x that I have used alot and want to get it refurbished. Just curious as to what it would cost, and is it worth it. Maybe just another newer camera would be better, opinions please.

"Refurbished" is a description reserved for new or near-new equipment returned to manufacturer, then offered again for sale. Technically not used, but since previously sold, not "new".

Getting a camera overhauled is usually nowhere near as expensive as a new purchase, or even a refurb purchase.

You have a great camera---a guy who shoots baseball near me has one and still keeps it because it fills his needs and I guess that is what you have to ask yourself along with the money you want to spend. If you like the camera then spend less money and get it overhauled---if you think you need something that another camera provides then spend the cash and go for it. I know for myself being comfortable with a camera means alot and when I get my D7000 my D3100 will still be in my bag. If I could just get that little devil to shoot 6+ FPS I would never really consider buying another camera........

I've seen your shots---you don't need a new camera. It kind of comes down to what we want and what we actually need. Some new glass with the $$$ you save......
