The D7100 is just such a better camera than my D5100, and in so many ways, I can't even TELL you. I don't know if it's that the D7100 has no low-pass filter, or what, but the image quality is SIGNIFICANTLY better (and I mean with every lens in my bag) than what I was getting out of my D5100. Then there are the features... Just little things like having two card slots, all the extra buttons that make changing settings so much easier than plowing through menus... I'm spoiled by the D7100 now and could never go back to a D5100. You'd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.Now, all that being said... If I had the money for an FX body, and couple decent lenses, I'd go FX and never look back hands down. Full stop. I think FX is, simply put, an entirely different level. All the photo's I've seen that have come out of FX body cameras, both Canon and Nikon, have an image quality that is far, far better than anything I've seen put out by a DX sensor camera. If I was going to go pro, and I mean if I was really going to take the plunge and do it... I'd go with a full frame body. But for me, I'm a hobbyist. I have no real dreams nor aspirations of going full professional so I had to set some kind of logical limit on what I could spend; and going full frame, for me, was simply more than I could justify for what photography is in my life. But that's me. If you want to be a professional moving to the FX format might be more an "investment" than an expenditure......</blockquote>
