[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 621746, member: 24285"] Looking for a second body for portrait shooting. Both the D610 and D7100 are delivering as expected. My reasoning is that I would like to have a second FX to back up my D610 when I go on a paid shoot - last year I did a 100th Birthday Party / Family Reunion, if for whatever reason my D610 failed I could have completed the job with the D7100 but I'm thinking that maybe a better camera would be good to have. And since I'd be getting another camera one that is as good as if not better than the D610 would be good to have. I like the reach of the D7100 for birding and I have some DX lenses I can use on it. It is actually newer than the D610 having added it to my collection just last year. It replaced the D5100 that my wife now used - she likes the smaller camera. The idea of the D800 was suggested to me when I saw a used D3 in the case at a camera store - I know that one is a classic. The suggestion was made for about the same money I could get a D800 which was recommended as a better choice as my 'second' camera. Not sure which one would be second and which first if I get the D800 and D610. [/QUOTE]
