[QUOTE="advnturer, post: 558043, member: 29084"] I recently got a bonus through work and my wife is letting me spend it on myself, so I decided to upgrade my 3200. I have had my 3200 for about two years and have only really got into photography in the last year, so still consider myself a novice user as I have only recently started really working my pictures. As I approach retirement, in about 2 years, my goal is to do a lot of landscape and wildlife; ultimately for large format prints and framing. Since half my glass and all my good glass is already FX ready, I decided to upgrade to FX. For the last three weeks, I have gone over every inch of detail and reviews between the D750 and the D810. I found a camera store that has both these in American release models for $1600 and $2300 respectively so my debate is, is the extra $700 worth it. I was looking at the 750 plus a new lens or just the 810 and use my current stuff (28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 and 50 mm f/1.8) and had decided to go with the 810 with resolution the deciding factor.... until a friend who is a professional photographer suggested I take a serious look at the D500. My only DX glass is the kit glass that came with my 3200 and I cannot remember the last time I used either, not a consideration at all in my final decision. What is a major factor is this will probably be my only and last high $$ body. I am now almost ready to flip a coin. Still leaning toward the D810 with the possibility that it is much more than what I need, but the D500 looks like it would do the job very well as well.... $300 difference in price is not a big consideration. What do you guys think? Dan [/QUOTE]
