Guys, some advice please, I tend to buy 2nd hand and am using a D90 at the moment, would really like a Nikon (so I can use existing lenses) which has a screen that swivels / tilts to allow low and high angle photos, any advice on which body I am best going for?
Thanks
G

Plenty to choose from, what is your budget and do you have and older lenses (AF-D) that you'll want to use. (Your D90 has a built-in focus motor that means AF-D lenses can autofocus, but some Nikon bodies don't).

Basically the Nikon range goes D3xxxx, D5xxx and D7xxx - The only one to avoid from any they've built over the last few years is probably the D3000 and that doesn't have a flippy screen anyway.

Her's an overview:

If you like the layout of the D90, I think you'd find dropping to one of the D5xxx models a real pain. They rely much more on menu access for settings and use pentamirror viewfinder as oppose to prisms which makes a big difference IMO. This is based on personal experience and I realise not important to everyone but if you do subscribe to that view, it really only leaves you with the D7500 and D500 as DX Nikons with flippy screens. Can't go wrong with either quite honestly and both would be a really nice step up.

Not sure what your budget is, but I recently upgraded from a D80 to a D750 and it's blown me away. Very very happy.
