[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 555080, member: 9240"] Piling on and apologizing if I repeat anything that's been said. First off, what do you shoot? I have a [B][I]need[/I][/B] for both DX and FX because of my wildlife photography. With my D7100 for sale I've been want to put clicks on it so I've been shooting with my D750 while waiting for my D500 to ship and I miss the 50% bump in focal length equivalence. I've had the D7000, D7100, D600, D610 and D750. The D610 is the same camera as the D600 from a sensor perspective - they just upgraded the shutter and added a Quiet Continuous mode which I use [I]all the time[/I] (I would [I]strongly[/I] recommend the 610 just to avoid potential nonsense - I went through two D600's that Nikon eventually upgraded to 610's). From an IQ point of view there's not a huge difference between the D7100 and the D600/610 in my opinion. The FX camera will do better has you get over ISO 1600, but the lack of OLPF on the D7100 makes it incredibly sharp. There are situational trade-offs, but given your lack of modern AF-S glass for FX the upgrade doesn't make sense to me unless you plan on upgrading glass as well. Now, the D750? That's an upgrade worth making, [I]if your shooting style will accommodate a switch in formats[/I]. In general that means that if you're not shooting sports or wildlife then different format just means different glass. You'll be spending some money on both, but I can promise you that there [U]is[/U] an appreciable difference. Wait for the next FX body to come out and grab a refurb D750 when the prices drop. Until then, save for it and for the glass you'll want with it. [/QUOTE]
