The D750 vs. the D610

[Blacktop]

D300 body, d7100 sensor , 6400 usable ISO , no video , no articulating screen. This would do it for me.

That would be ideal for me as well Jake, I have the D610 and want a second DX body but the buffer size of the D7100 is just pitiful and means I will not buy one.

What DX shooters need is a Nikon equivalent of Canon 7D-II with 24MP no OLPF sensor

I hope that Nikon's hesitancy? isn't a fear of market cannibalization. These systems can coexist and folks like us who understand the differences realize a Pro Dx should cost more than a basic Fx. Having one doesn't keep me from wanting the other for it's unique capability. The unknowing will spout how dumb any Dx costing more than an Fx is, but that's from lack of Knowledge. I hope Nikon realizes that it's dedicated following is smarter than that (and I hope they are not that stupid to think we aren't).

This was the rationale that I feel would sell an FX body at rock bottom price, in line with the D3xxx series.

Would buy this immediately as long as it also had D300/D300s AF system. What a camera that would be, perfection!!!!

Every Nikon pro I've spoken/traded comments with has said that when it comes down to brass tacks the reason every Nikon body in the consumer/pro-sumer range has a perceived shortcoming is so that it will not eliminate interest in another model. Period. Even with the D300s replacement question they point to the D800 saying that most pros are happy with 16MP's in DX mode there, and the sensor is so good they stop bitching about the frame rate for sports.

Stupid? Sure. But most marketing is.

And aroy, you are truly the person in the midst of hell complaining about the lack of ice water. You can want something with all your being, but wanting it will not make it so, no matter how long you scream.

I'm kinda surprised that the shutter durability is the same. If I were a pro, that would be a huge factor in what camera I purchase.

I always buy a 3 year mack diamond warranty, and since we shoot like crazy at weddings..its a must have. the shutter will die. not if, but when. about $200 for piece of mind which includes impact/accidental damage..it covers it.
