[QUOTE="Mark F, post: 329286, member: 12825"] Thanks Jake, Rick... I should have put compared instead of vs in the title huh ;) I thought my reason for the question was a simple one. I was at work (i was taking shots of a new exhibit that was opened up at the museum) and a wedding photographer came up to me and asked me how I like the d610. I noticed he had the d7100 so I asked him that question as well. Short conversation, he said he wanted the FX because he believed it shined for what he uses a camera for. I told him what I use mine for, but said I was limited in this camera because I couldn't afford the glass I thought it deserved. Hence it got me thinking about the differences in photo prints. He offered me a good deal ( from what I can gather ) in trade for his plus a couple excellent lenses, or cash and enough to where I could buy a new d7100 and pick which two lenses I wanted. Anyway... I said I'd get back with him and that I wanted to go home and think about it.. meaning I came here to ask the question and decide from what great comments I would get her. Turns out, I waited to long and the guy decided to get a d800e. He said he is going to get the d810 when its available too. I am so envious :) So, deal broken... all the technical comments that make no difference to me... I'm keeping what I have for now, but in the back of my mind I may move "backwards" so I can get glass in front of a tool to make better pictures. People viewing prints don't give a rats butt what camera it came out of... they don't see the exif data. They don't care if you used a zoom or a prime. If they like what they see... then the photographer did his job. I have sold a few prints, its not my main thing. I'm still an immature amateur at this. I've held a camera since the late 1960's. I've always inspired to be a pro one day, but I never had the opportunity or the funds and I didn't want pro status to affect how I enjoy the hobby. That said, and very long winded, I want to thank everyone for their input in the quest for X vs ( compared to ) X thread. :) Jake, Rick... thanks for the simple comparison... even though you are off a couple mm in your lens settings to do justice to a true and accurate comparison. I'm sure there is a mathematical reason behind what you did that was wrong... lol And Rick, thats what its all about... people viewing the photos in print and enjoying the eye candy. Just to add something here. An old photographer once told me that all camera bodies are capable of doing the same thing. Some easier than others, some not so easy. but they all interpret what the glass in front of them is telling them... so instead of buying camera bodies thinking they will improve your photography, buy glass. If you can't afford good glass, get a cheaper body to put the glass on. That is what my thinking here was all about.
