This recreates the FAT32 file-structure of the card itself and can, possibly, repair bad sectors. Formatting the card in-camera should be done routinely but all this does is rewrite the folder-structure the camera requires in order to communicate with, and write files to, the SD card. This is not, to those of us who are more computer literate, truly reformatting as it is commonly understood. I reformat my cards in-camera before starting any fresh shooting assignment. I reformat my memory cards in my computer maybe a few times a year.The resolution of the rear LCD gets a whole lot better with better camera bodies, but the best thing you can do to check for sharp focus is zoom in on the LCD display you have.You lose the crop factor but some would call that a "feature"... You should really Google "DX vs FX" to get an unbiased review of the differences.You can, but you'll need to look at whether your lenses are FX or DX. While you CAN use a DX lens on an FX body you will have vignetting to deal with, most likely. FX lenses also tend to be more expensive than their DX counterparts.As for what to upgrade to, I second the suggestions for the D7100 or the D5300. I shoot with the former, my girlfriend shoots with the latter; so I have a good amount of experience with both. If I couldn't shoot with my D7100 I could be pretty happy with the D5300. The D5300 does not have the dual-card slots, though and I really have come to love having dual slots.....</blockquote>
