[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 172913, member: 4399"] A lot of good advice already! I switched from the D5100 to the D600 last year and I'm very pleased with the change;however, I did take a hit trading my Dx glass. Pixel density is much lower in Fx (with the exception of the D800) resulting in better low light performance and less noise at comparable ISO settings. You need to look at the pixel density when comparing the two formats. The Fx sensor is about 2.4 times larger than Dx, so if both have 24mp, the Fx sensor is much less dense which should translate into better low light performance. In analyzing my own shots at 100%, I could see noticeable differences between my Dx and Fx bodies. As mentioned, it really depends on what you're going to do with the images and your ultimate photographic goals. I knew going Fx would gnaw at me until I made the change. Now I have all Fx glass, I have been thinking of picking up a 24mp Dx body for the crop factor. The D600 cropped is only about 10.6 mp. This may double the usefulness of all my lenses and give me a bit more perceived "reach". [/QUOTE]
