Ironically, I am using the firesale 5100 as my throw in backpack, so light.  I do think you are splitting hairs with quality between 800 and 600 in FX mode.. and like you say,, you have the DX mode covered in the 7000.. so,,  is it woth the 2200 dollars delta? OR you could sell the 600 and 7000 and go to the one camera - D800e.. say 1600 for 600       650 for 7000buy d800e on sale for say 3100,, so,,, 800 or so dollar delta.. mmm is it worth it... One camera, does all maybe.  but then you don't have a backup camera when one goes into the shop.  Notice I pickthe 800e, not the 800, I have the 800 because I was worried about the e,, and would have had to wait a few more months, but seems like the moire effect was not much of a factor, so might as wellpick the sharpest. Although the difference between the 800 and 800e is so minute should would not upgrade from a 800 to a 800e. laughs, I am not being helpful,  I guess, I would personally keep the 7000/600 combo and buy another lens <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />.interesting,, as far as the FX versus DX sensor,  I found I like my D700 images better than the D7000 images on average. I have taken both on the same trips. taken the exact same shot,, and well, my 700 just had a nicer look..which I can't quite figure out,  since I do like my 800 pictures better than my 700, and well, the underlying sensors between the 7000 and 800 are supposed to be the same. I still think you get slightly different looks depending on which batch your sensor is from. After all, wafers vary from lot to lot, and well, where the process is centered must effect the sensor. I had two D700s purchased about 8 months apart, and yes,  slight differences. Ironically, I sold the one that I liked the most. but they were both awesome anyway.so far, I have only sold my 6 Meg sensor cameras  (D50/D70),, and my 12  Meg D300, but have kept the 10Meg, 16 Meg DX, and 12 Meg FX, and now 36 Meg FX.every sensor was different, I really liked the old 6 Meg Sensor, but not enough to keep, and while the D300 sensor was nice, it never really stood out for me. the D80 sensor,, awesome,, keeping that one. 12 Meg FX  another awesome... never getting rid of this one16 Meg Sensor -> it is growing on me,, getting really nice shots out of the 5100,  and decent ones out of my 7000,36 Meg FX -> another awesome.. so,, see,, I am in the variety is the spice of life camp..</blockquote>
