[QUOTE="portos, post: 523708, member: 41475"] [FONT=arial]Hi there, [/FONT] [FONT=arial]I have owned a Nikkon D80 for 7 years now and thinking to update to a D7200 (DX) or D750 (FX). I own two lenses: (a) AF-S 18-135 3.5-5.6G DX (no VR) and (b) AF-S 50mm 1:1.4G (FF). I was also thinking to acquire a 70-200 for a time now.[/FONT] [FONT=arial] Thanks for your comments on this thread too. I have been doing a lot of research lately and cannot decide whether moving to FX or stay with DX. My thoughts: [/FONT] [FONT=arial] - Moving to FX body will require buying a new "all-purpose" FF lense since DX lenses will work on FX bodies but IQ will go down to approx. 10MB (from 24Mb). 10MB is not bad (same as my D80), but do not want to waste the full potential of a 24 MB sensor [/FONT] [FONT=arial] - DX body will work fine with my current lenses, even though the 50mm is acting as a 75mm due to cropping but providing same or even better IQ than on FX bodies.
