[QUOTE="hark, post: 734997, member: 13196"] I agree with BackdoorArts that a D7200 would be my first choice, too. Since the D7200 is a crop sensor body, that means your subject will appear larger than if you were using an FX body at the same distance. One difference between crop sensor body vs. full frame is how it will affect your depth of field. Since a DX body can be further away from the subject than FX (to yield the same sized subject in your viewfinder), you will have a greater DoF with which to work. Just be aware that with macro, you will be at a very narrow DoF to begin with. The D7200 has been discontinued but is available preowned or refurbished. [URL="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1237483-REG/nikon_1554b_d7200_dslr_camera_body.html"]B&H has a refurbished one listed on their site[/URL]. If you are looking for a new body and aren't able to find a new D7200, then my next suggestion would be a D7500. It has a slightly smaller sensor than the D7200 but still has the ability to produce a larger subject in the viewfinder compared with an FX body set at the same distance. [/QUOTE]
