I am just a hobby photographer but want to develope some skill if possible. I usually get into nature, portrait, animalix etc... Any helpou folks can offer to help make up my mind would be appreciated!! Thanks!

There's a fairly strong rumor that the D100 has been discontinued. That mean a new mid-level dSLR should soon be announced.
