[QUOTE="AC016, post: 136567, member: 9619"] Well, let me get adjusted in my armchair here....... lol :) No one on here is a "pro" - that word just may go to some peoples heads. Look, if you have invested in a bunch of DX glass, stick with DX and get yourself a 7100. From what i have read, it is a great camera and a very good upgrade from a D5000. With the extra money that you will have left over in your budget, kit yourself out with some great lenses (a nice prime, a nice telephoto). If you want to go the way of FX, your looking at buying new lenses, which are not going to be cheap at all - DX glass just does not work well on FX. Out of the Nikkor lens line up currently (from their website) there are 17 DX lenses to choose from, ranging from $199 up to $1500. When you look at the FX line up, you have 63 choices ranging from $134 to $18000.00. Out of that 63, only 17 are zooms. The rest are primes. The nice thing is, you can use FX lenses on your DX camera no problem; therefore, you get more lens choice with a DX camera. Therefore, if i were you, spend a grand on the D7100 and kit yourself out with a nice line up of lenses. That is my humble opinion. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
