New camera time, what to do...

I think the people that shoot birds & sports will want the crop factor of DX cameras, which will ensure the manufacturers will continue to supply them....

Lol, I went on vacation for 4 days and Mojo became an Fx snob! :).

I think size matters and it will keep Dx in a niche for awhile, within 10 years perhaps they can sqeeze a Fx sensor in a Dx frame, at that point I think we will see Dx fading. Perhaps the D600 will begin that transition.

This is a big part of the debate going on in my head also, Fx/image quality vs. Dx size/speed/crop factor. I'm on the sidelines waiting to see the next two offerings in each format. I was concerned about Fx glass, but I think the new Fx 24-85 will help bridge that gap if I go Fx as a good starting lens. However, I really like the size and portability of Dx.

I'm very happy with prints up to 16x24 from my Dx and so are folks that have purchased my prints. If I (they) wanted larger prints then that then I would go Fx, but I have not run into that.

I'm leaning towards the next pro Dx, I feel more held back by subject material than IQ.

Lol, so essentially, I'm no help with this debate :)

even in the days of film cameras, there has always been a strong market for different size formats. each have their pros and cons.micro 4/3rds and dx will be here for a good while yet. fx will most likely become the norm,with possibly another (larger) format on the horizon. you never know! if camera manufacturers can find a way to make the sheeple part with their cash then they will capitalise upon it it. how about a digital equivalent to the larger format film cameras?

Medium format digital has been out for awhile. I can't imagine any "normal" use for anything larger than Medium format digital.
