[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 621631, member: 24285"] Lighting is also on my list of things I want to upgrade too. Have looked at Strobe sets but I'm looking for something more portable, don't see myself setting up a studio anywhere soon. I am using the Godox system and am thinking of adding either a AD-200 or AD-600. Already have several good speedlights and the AD-360 which looks like an overgrown speedlight with bare-bulb. Alternatively a good LED light(s) but not the panel style. Lots of debate about LED for photography vs video only. But yes lighting is critical. I do shoot HSS and while my D7100 will go to 1/8000 the D610 is 1/4000, but honestly unless it is a tricky shot of a drop of water or F1 would I see much difference in 1/4000 vs 1/8000 of a second? As for good glass - always. I'm loving my Sigma Art 50mm 1.4 and thinking of adding another. Not sure if it will be a wider one like the 20, 24 or even 35 or longer 105 or 135. My desire for another camera starts out by thinking I need a better back up for my D610 than the D7100 and wondering if that D800 refurb would be a good choice as a second camera. Then the D750 is suggested as it is only $200 more and better (in some ways) ... but then I start sniffing the D500 and it smells so good. That opens up the whole question of DX vs FX . . . in the end of the day I hit pause and you are right there is no "compelling reason to get any new camera." [/QUOTE]
