[QUOTE="Buanadha, post: 794447, member: 50751"] No doubt, I'd like the D610, but for wildlife/birds, I'd lose the lens length advantage by going to FF (and I think in crop mode the D610 is 10 MP as well). The D7100 is a really good alternative and decent models can be had at a bit less than 2x the cost of the old D2x I saw. The camera I'd like to have for birds/wildlife is the D500.. but dollars matter still ;) I'm kind of leaning against it in general. I have a D300 that I use for wildlife/birds now and this is a step backwards (except for maybe the 2x crop mode in HSC and the ability to use the unmodified TC-16a teleconverter -- it is kind of tempting to use a 300mm f/2.8 AI-S, for instance) [/QUOTE]
