I am getting ready to upgrade from my D60 to a new Nikon. I mostly take pictures of my family, my bullies and places that I go on vacation. I don't like using flash if I can get by with out it, and prefer not to lug a tripod around. At this time a have 2 DX lenses and a Nikon 24-70 2.8. I really like shots of people and my dogs with blurry depth of field. I have looked at the Nikon D300s and the D700. I like the full frame advantage of the D700 and the low light capability, but, the camera is about $1000 more than the D300s. I would like to have a lens, like the Nikon 85mm 1.4 , for taking people shots and dog shots, but, with the D300s wouldn't the length change to around 125mm? Would that be to long for shooting dog and people portraits? Is there a better lens for blurry depth of field that would work on the D300s. Iwould rather not buy any more DX lenses, just in case, I do get a full frame camera.
