[QUOTE="robbins.photo, post: 593375, member: 27043"] I'd recommend you look for a good used D600 or D610, they are both great cameras. I shoot a D600 myself, and believe me it is a huge step up in lowlight performance from the D7100. As to lenses, one of my favorites was actually one of the cheapest I've ever bought, the Tamron 28-75mm 2.8. I paid $130 for it used, and it's a phenomenal lens. I bought an older version without the built in focus motor, there are newer versions available that are a bit more expensive that have the motor built in - but for my needs I really didn't need faster or quieter AF. For you, shooting in church the built in motor might be the way to go, won't be quite as loud as the screw type I use. There are also a lot of older D type lenses available for the full frame in those focal lengths that are very cost effective. So yes, it is very possible to upgrade to full frame and not spend a kings ransom on lenses. In a pinch even your old DX lenses will work, the camera will switch to DX mode and you'll wind up with a smaller image file, and of course your FOV will be the same as a crop sensor, but you still get the better lowlight of the full frame and you can shoot DX lenses on your FX if you need time between buying the body and upgrading the lenses.
