Ken,
It seems to me, as you already have quite a few Nikon lenses,  that you 
need the new 10 MP DSLR that Nikon is announcing in 10 days or so (the 
betting is under US$ 1000). The D200 works with all Nikon lenses, so 
that might be what you want otherwise....With all Nikon lenses, why 
should you buy Canon? Or am I missing something here?
Cheers
Jayanand
