[QUOTE="'bini, post: 382678, member: 34724"] Hi All, I'm a new member and haven't yet had time to view many posts, so please forgive me if this has been covered. I currently shoot a D300 and a D7000, using the Nikkor 10.5 f2.8 and Sigma's 18-35 f1.8 for night sky. I've been a Nikon fan since the 70's, when I got my first - an F2. I'm getting very interested in night sky photography and feel I need to jump to full frame as a result. I'm looking for opinions as to which of the reasonably (?) priced FX models I should go for. I've heard good things about the D800e and thought I'd jump to the D810, knowing that in some aspects it's a noticeable jump forward. But I have also heard that the 810 has thermal noise issues compared to the 800e. As I'm satisfied with DX for most types of shooting and am interested in getting into FX for night sky only, I don't need a lot of bells and whistles. I'm also an old timer and was taught to depend on manual control, so my main concern here is low long exposure and high ISO noise. I'm also willing to get a used camera, which opens up the possibility of the D700 or the D610. So, which FX? Any and all opinions welcomed, and thank you. [/QUOTE]
