[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 490249, member: 15675"] For your first question, any new one should have the "Sports" denomination; however the old version has a very good reputation as well. I'm talking far future, but this is playing in my head as well. Looking at DXO mark the D7200 does perform well, however there is a difference of full frame on colour and noise (ISO). I would also go for the D750 AF capabilities, but that is me. DXO mark does not have the 70-200 VRII it seems, but seems to confirm that the VR I is less in sharpness then this 120-300 f2.8 which is obviously more expensive when new. Practically for me the 70-200 is a very good performer and I was thinking if I would go for a 120-300mm f2.8 the 70-200mm would have to go. That seems to decide against the 120-300mm for me. Depending on your subject the 200mm with crop will do very well (for example using a D7200 mostly). So I guess my conclusion is that the 70-200 with D7000 (my case) and D750 (when light is critical) is a good option which would not be much complemented with the 120-300mm. If I would start over I would consider 70-200 vs 120-300 and would probably choose the 120-300 f2.8 for my photography (wildlife and motorsports). Mainly for quality for the price and probably can be better used with teleconverters (I checked a group on flickr for that). ===== Edit just found: Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Sports predecessor: Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM predecessor: Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG HSM [/QUOTE]
