Yeah, I know the D90 is a good camera, even regular people like me know the good review of this camera, but isnt Nikon not so popular compare to Canon in terms of future lens upgrades? also the D90 is too expensive, I think a new one cost above 2K? how much are the used one going for?

D90 wor ..  it is entry model ..  I think $850 now ..  and 35mm F1.8 is like $269.

35.8 on D700 is actually more cool, (do ~ 1.1 to 1.2 crop )

You can look at D5000 too, $629 with lens, (london drug) great bargain!! add a 35 F1.8, 55-200 VR, SB600, then you are good to go!  under $2K for all, with taxes! ^_^

Even I use Canon gears more, but I do suggest Nikon low end model in Canada.

(don't get me wrong, 500D, 550D are good bodies too, but cost quite a bit more then D5000)

no, use D90 and 35mm will cost less the 1k in used market ar.

Catpiano: should I sell my 5D/35L and get D700/35 1.8?

    Well, it is all up to you, for image outcome, 5D + 35L is still nicer then D700 + 35 1.8, (35 1.8 on D700 will have effective ~38-42mm, after crop the pic a bit, depends on aperture and distance, you don't really need to use DX mode)

But what system to keep, should be base on just one combination, yes, Value for 5D+35L and D700+35.8 is about the same, and in general, D700 is a nicer camera, but also look at how many Nikon gears/Canon gears you have, and if you want to just run 1 system or not.

I use my D700+35.8 more then my 5D + 35L, just mainly the AF is quicker, and more selectable AF point, better for taking picture a 16 month old, otherwise, I still prefer 5D+35L colour more. ^_^
