[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 528227, member: 9240"] If the D5500 is currently enough camera for you then I can see no reason why a move to a D5 is even close to necessary. I've grown out of cameras and not yet made the move to the top of the pyramid. Assuming you were willing to fork over the price necessary for the D5 then I would give you 3 options, knowing that one of your criteria is a more rugged body. 1. You're shooting DX and likely have DX glass, so if you're going to move up to a professional body then go with the D500. It has all the advantages of the D7200 and then some. Arguably the best crop sensor camera around on release. 2. If you want the advantages that come with FX in addition to the advantages in clarity that come with the removal of the anti-aliasing filter then perhaps a D810 would suit you. More rugged body than the D750 or D610 but not nearly as expensive or complex as the D5. And at 36MP's you can stick your DX lenses on their as you upgrade your glass and still shoot at 16MP's. 3. Get a D750. Less money than the D500 and one of the best low light cameras you can find. And with the $4000 you save over the D5 you can buy a LOT of full frame glass. And it's more of a natural progression from the D5500 you have currently. I've been shooting with one since they came out and no other full frame camera out there has me wanting to trade to it, at any price. It's the perfect fit of form and function for what I do. [/QUOTE]
