[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 117116, member: 9240"] Great insight, Geoff, thanks. Outside of a Sigma 8-16mm and a Rokinon Fisheye I have no DX lenses, so would shoot in FX mode almost exclusively. I'd rather be given the option to crop as I see fit in every case, and as you mentioned I don't like the idea of a viewfinder restriction. I am strongly considering the idea of the D7x00 given the new sensor size. I only wish that there were more specifics, and particularly that there was the opportunity to see some images and get some IQ reviews. Ultimately if the quality matches the D600 I'm ahead of the game. Then last night I see that B&H has knocked another $100 of their factory refurbs and a D800 is $2399, and a second D600 would be $1599 (a couple hundred more than the new D7x00), and I have that feeding me. Given the soft market I suspect that Nikon will continue to offer deals like this moving forward, so while these prices run through the end of next week I have no reason to believe that something like the Xmas deal of last November won't happen again. I have no real need to rush into the decision, which is why I wanted some opinions to chew on. I took a closer look at the functional differences of the D800 and it's definitely a different beast. That the new D7x00 follows the form of the D600 (God, I hope they keep the +/- buttons consistent) is another pro in that column. Maybe I'll just wait and see if they change the battery again and use that as a deciding factor. LOL [/QUOTE]
