[QUOTE="alfaholic, post: 351229, member: 13066"] Thank you all. I often see people saying the same thing, the next step is FX, but I do not feel that way. It all depends, and I would not generalize and say that FX is better all the time and for everyone. I would like to have it, mostly because of all that hype about full frame, but I am ok wih DX for what I need. The reasons behind this idea is to get new body with 2 years of warranty, better autofocus, no LPF, maybe that 1.3 crop mode to play with when I need "more reach", and just maybe more MP just as an option for cropping. The thing about warranty is because my D7000 was two times at the service, and few days a go it showed me ERR message, but that went off after I pressed the shutter button again. More than 100 photos later, it is still OK, I suppose it was the dust on contacts, or something similar. My gear is always like new, and my D7000 is no exception, but this camera scares me a little bit because it had some problems when I bought it, yellowish screen, then autofocus calibration, now this ERR message, so that is just one of the reasons to "upgrade". Other than that it works well, I like the results, dynamic range is great, low light performance is good, for my photography it is very good camera. As for FX, I do not think I will go to full frame any soon. I am a hobbyist, I still need to learn about photography and post processing, and I need to justify the money I spent on my gear, so selling everything, loosing almost 50% of the money I invested, and buying more expensive gear to use it at this rate, 7000 - 10 000 photos per year, I think I need to be crazy or very rich to do that. I need to decide is it "safe" to keep my D7000, even if something go wrong with it after my warranty expires, or to buy D7100 and fill safe with 2 years of warranty. I know some people have more than 170 000 actuations on their D7000, my with 10 000 is literally new, just I do not trust this one, maybe I am not realistic about this... [/QUOTE]
