Full frame (FF), in and of itself is not an upgrade. There are many reasons FF is an upgrade but it isn't an upgrade just because Nikon, or the majority of folks here, say it is. It all comes down to what you are looking to improve.In the beginning, sensors were so expensive to produce that camera companies introduced the idea of cropped sensors as a compromise in quality and cost. Everyone nodded and said ok, because they were anxious to ditch their film cameras for digital. Instant gratification wins every time. The D7000 has a 16meg image sensor, the D750 has a 24meg. The pixels are roughly the same size. You're not going to get a huge difference in native image quality other than the different way the 750 processes the pixels. If you do a lot of work with telephoto lenses you'll lose the 1.5x crop factor, which means you'll need to crop D750 files to about 16meg to get equivalent views - or buy longer lenses. Note, I'm ultimately not advocating against the D750, I'm arguing against any new camera without justification, because you think your current camera is obsolete. What does upgrade mean to you? What is it that your D7000 doesn't do for you? If you just want to try something new, and have the money, then the D750 will meet that criterion. If you just think you should upgrade because your camera's 6 years old (or however old it is) then I think you're better off with what you have. If you want to try FF and see if it better meets your needs, then you can buy a film body for a hundred bucks and shoot/scan a few rolls of film.</blockquote>
