[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 116812, member: 9240"] My experience with shooting my D600 side by side with my D7000 over the past few months has me thinking that abandoning DX for a complete move to FX may be the right thing for me to do. Not that the D7000 is a slouch, but the IQ on the D600 is that much better, and with the D800 I believe I'd be getting the same number of "MP's per bird" when I stick a 150-500mm on there as opposed to the D7000 (i.e. D800 at 500mm and cropped would be roughly equivalent to a full D7000 frame with the same lens). It's a healthy investment, and to sell the D7000 now, with the current price drop and the promise of a replacement will cost me some, I don't "need" two cameras, and could shoot the D600 and lose some MP's per bird while still getting a crisper photo. But I may have just struck a deal to sell off some music gear which would cover the camera [B][I]and[/I][/B] still put money in the bank, so it's become an emotional decision that I need to reduce down to a logical one. So I know I can count on all of you to lead me through this without playing on the "it's a great camera, you know you want one!!" angle. Yeah, right. LOL Seriously, though, does it make sense? I'm selling off all but one DX lens as it is. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
