[QUOTE="dddwyer1981, post: 207237, member: 15867"] Thanks Jake - As of now my 2 girls are 2.5 years old and 6 months old, so its a lot of candid photography catching them in the act. Living in Orlando, we get down to the theme parks quite a bit, and the lighting during the day and at night is a challenge to say the least (battling the shadows during the day, and the low light performance of my D5000 leaves a little to be desired outdoors with the flash). With this in mind, its most portrait type photography that I focus on. However, with the age of the kids, its more like "trying to catch a kid looking somewhat towards the camera" photography. Ultimately I'm looking to improve the low light performance, which I understand FX is much better at. My D5000 tends to be extremely grainy over 1600 ISO (but maybe I just haven't practiced enough - only been taking this seriously for about a year, but been shooting with D5000 for several years now). With the price difference between the D7100 and D610, it might be worth trying the D7100 and see if that offers the improvements I'm looking for. If not, then I'll have to bite the bullet and go with the D610. [/QUOTE]
