[QUOTE="Samsonite, post: 167382, member: 13264"] Hi All, After shooting with my D5100 for about 10 months, and purchasing some pro glass (Nikon 24 - 70 F2.8 and Nikon 70 - 200 F2.8 VR), ive now decided I want a body more suited to what Im making some money from, which is sports photography (Motorsport, BMX, etc). I was considering going to Full Frame, as my mate who is a pro photographer told me to do, he said its just much better than a DX body. Considering my current Budget I started looking at the D600 (D800 is a bit too expensive for me at the moment). I have compared both of these to the D7100 on the Nikon Website, from the comparison, the D7100 seems to tick more of the right boxes for me, such as: . 6 FPS continuous shooting (Highest) . Crop sensor means I can get some decent Telephoto shots with my existing lenses thanks to the crop factor (To get the equivalent focal length on an FX Body would costs a couple of thousands more in glass) . 24MP (Same as D600) . Dual SD Card Slots (Like the D600) . 100% Viewfinder (Like the D600) . Upto 1/8000 Shutter Speed (More than D600) . 51 AF points (More than D600) . Higher resolution LCD The plan was always to eventually have both a DX body and an FX body, but seeing as the D7100 is the undisputed best DX Body, I was thinking of selling on my D5100, buying the D7100 as my main body, then eventually going for something a step ahead of the D600 / D800 such as the D3 or D4 in the future (not any time soon.....) What do you guys think? I know a lot of people (Including my mate) will say FX is just a whole new class of camera, but considering my needs, the D7100 seems to be perfect right now..... Opinions appreciated! [/QUOTE]
