[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 286566, member: 9240"] I'm not saying "more is better" necessarily. What I'm reacting to is your reasons for wanting a full frame camera, primarily "giving macro a push". Some types of photography lend themselves to higher resolution, and macro and wildlife are the two most common. So, if you're looking to go full frame for macro then my recommendation is to seriously consider more MP's, both for detail and for resolution after cropping. Given that your other real interest is bird photography, something like the D800 makes lots of sense as a single camera as it gives you at least the resolution you're getting now for birding (assuming a DX crop - anything more than that is gravy), plus lots of resolution for macro. Now, if you were schizophrenic with your subject matter as much as I am then I would say that it might pay you to go with the D600/610 as I believe the bigger pixels on that sensor work for a lot of other types of photography while avoiding huge file sizes.
