[QUOTE="Jerry_, post: 474760, member: 34209"] FX Will perform better in low light and allow for nicer captures with bokeh. On the other hand it will require you to buy more expensive lenses. Considering what you mentioned to be your type of photography You will have a better use for a DX body, including the benefit of the hyperfocal due to the crop sensor. Going to a D7100 or D7200 would therefore be my recommendation, for all the benefit that they offer in quality and also as features, Pay attention to the following aspects: - both D7100 and D7200 are much heavier camera bodies than the D3100 was (this you will have realized already), therefore it will be less of a walkaround camera then the D3100 - upgrading to a 24MP sensor will probably require you to change almost half of your lenses, for taking full quality advantage of your camera. - as already mentioned, you can use Nikon FX glass on a DX but, while when using DX lenses on a (future) FX camera, it will switch to crop mode.
