[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 198770, member: 8705"] Everyone seems to view FX as an upgrade but i have mixed feelings. Unless you can afford long fast glass FX may not be an upgrade depending on what you're doing. In fact if you're a sports/action shooter the frame rate of the D800 may not be up to the job. When I press the trigger on my D300s it fires in raw at 6-7 fps until I get bored of the noise. The D800 doesn't. When I want to shoot high res landscape, portraits or high ISO low light shots the D800 wins hands down. It's the old thing of the right tool for the job. My wife got the 7100 a few weeks ago but it's too early yet to know what we think of it compared to the D300 or D800. I suspect it will be better at some things and not at others. Apart from the buffer it seems like a very nice camera and most importantly it's got a decent autofocus system. It's also soooo quiet when the shutter operates. Great for wedding ceremonies. The D800 sounds like a door slamming!! [/QUOTE]
