[QUOTE="JDFlood, post: 103757, member: 11653"] I have a D800 and a couple APS-c cameras, not the D7000, I do have a D200, and D700. Specifically for macro you will have to shoot closer because you will loose the crop factor, assuming your macro shots have plenty of light, then you will probably not gain a lot other than being able to crop more. But in street photography and other you gain a lot! You get much better low light sensitivity, and resolution. If you are serious about photography you want to be shooting an FX camera. Also, as an aside, thinking about the future. Sharp just released a 4K monitor and demonstrated an 8K monitor ( 8,000 pixels wide ) so, in only a few years 5 - 10, those files that seem so huge ( d800 are 7,360 by 4,912) now are going to fit on your monitor and home viewing system. So, twenty years from now, you'll be happy you made the jump. The D800 is truly an awesome camera, I can't imagine it not proving itself in all sorts of ways you cannot image now. For me it picks up nuances of light much better than it's predecessors, allowing me to capture more emotion. JD [/QUOTE]
