[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 732097, member: 3903"] The only advice I have for you is to start with lenses. If you think that you will be a better photographer with a full frame camera, start with what is the most important thing, lenses. If you start with a D7** or D8** and wait to have money for the right lens, by the time you have the money, the newer D9** might be out and you'll want to get that... Now I must insist that this is only my opinion, but I kind of know that reading and shopping on the web for the best camera is a very tempting thing to do and it does feed our endless hunger for "Better". But what I've been told by a Nikon rep still rings to my ear: "Lenses, lenses" bodies will never stop to improve and get better, but lenses are what make the picture. Using a FX body with DX lenses is a waist of money. You would have better images with a DX body and great glass then with a superb FX with second rank glass. Be aware of the difference between "wants" and "needs". Unless you're a professional photographer and/or you print very large prints on a regular base, the DX cameras will give you plenty of quality. So just be aware of the road you're about to get into and start buying glass for your future FX BEFORE you get the FX and no glass to go with it. Or wait until you have the funds and then buy a FX with a 24-120 or a 24-70. And if you really want to save money, why not go with the new Z* series... Food for thoughts.
