[QUOTE="skater, post: 273067, member: 19158"] Well, presumably we'd buy an FX lens or two to go with it, so we'd have similar setups to what we have now for most uses. I was more concerned about the 11-16 and the 50 mm that we wouldn't be replacing - but it sounds like they would still work as well as they do in the DX cameras. Of course two FX lenses are going to be pretty pricey, too. Yeah, but no new toys to play with. ;) I hesitate to buy two of the same model. Learning curve isn't an issue for us - I mean, yes, we'd have to learn a new camera, but we don't mind. That's part of the point of photography, learning something new. :) I want to stop using the D70. When we decided to buy the D7000, my original plan was that we'd ditch the D70 to offset the cost of it, but my wife was like, "No...I'll still use it!" Since the D70 has been with me so long (I bought it right after they were introduced, and it was my DSLR until we bought the D7000 in 2010), I sort of hate to get rid of it, but it's definitely not my go-to camera. I dread having to crop its photos, though - "Oh, look! 1 megapixel! Honey, don't print that picture, please." I think y'all are right...we should go with a D7100, or at least a D7000. Aside from the cost, the other thing that makes me hesitate on the D7100 is wondering whose camera it will actually be - mine or hers. ;) [/QUOTE]
