[QUOTE="hark, post: 555079, member: 13196"] The D750 has a more improved sensor which offers about a stop more of ISO performance over the D610, but my D610 is still much better in that respect than my D7100. I haven't experienced any AF problems with any of my bodies unless the light is very, very low. And there is always the option to switch to Live View and focus manually in those situations. The top display is a little different between the D610 and D750--tends to be easier to read on the D750 because the letters are larger. I don't do birding, sports, or anything else that requires quick AF and/or reaction time so I can't help you there. The benefits of DX are that the 1.5 crop sensor will work to your advantage when using telephoto lenses. You will get more reach with DX than FX if you are using the same lens on both bodies. And the other advantage is for macro photography for the same reason--the subject will fill the viewfinder better with DX than FX. Extension tubes run around $140 for anyone who is interested in FX macro (they can also be used on DX if needed), and since I have them, my macro end is covered on FX. I don't yet have a teleconverter, but birding or other shots that involve really long telephoto lenses don't tend to be things I shoot. Landscapes are my main interest. Lately I seem to be doing a lot of shooting that involves ISO 1600-2500 (low enough light where shutter speeds need to be fast enough to eliminate blur from people's movements). Both my D610 and D750 work well--and both outperform my D7100 in those situations. I started out using 35mm film long ago and was annoyed with the 1.5 crop factor. Personally I much prefer FX over DX, but as I listed above, there are times when DX has its advantages. Fortunately I have both DX and FX bodies. You need to decide which body will work best for you. If you think there will come a time to switch to FX, then that's what you should consider providing it falls within your budget. Making the decision may not be easy because you will keep second guessing yourself. Weigh the pros and cons of DX vs FX and make an informed decision. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
