[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 474465, member: 12257"] 1) A salesman telling you a D3100 is a child's toy equates to "I really want to sell you something more expensive." Granted, the D7200 and D610 are more advanced as far as sensor/processing quality, and have more intuitive controls and such, but that doesn't make the D3100 a child's toy. It's capable of stunning shots in the right hands, period. It's definitely worth upgrading, but don't let a salesman's sales pitch push you into a quick decision. 2) Do you like the view/reach you're getting from your lenses currently on the D3100? If so, the D7200 is going to be right up your alley, but with better initial pic quality and features. The D610 is going to require FX lenses, so that's a cost right up front. Plus, a 50mm on an FX body will be a wider view than a 50mm on a DX body, so it just depends on what you shoot. Lots of long range telephoto shots, or more portrait and low light stuff? FX is still the king for low light situations, but with my D7100, I've gotten some great low light shots as well... 3) Either of the cameras you're talking about are a fantastic jump from the D3100, so whichever ya get, ENJOY and share some pics! 4) Welcome to the forums!
