[QUOTE="kratos, post: 604714, member: 15445"] This thread might be similar to others but since every D7000 owner have their own experiences, I am posting it any way. I have been using D7000 for 4 years and I am glad that I chose this for my entry into DSLR. Its a great camera overall and even today I won't even think about replacing it for any other APS-C. But as any other person, I am also after better tech always. First of all, Let me make my position clear. I am just an enthusiast, not a professional. I have covered the basics of DSLR, have tried popular techniques like timelapse/hyperlapse, long exposures, all types of focus methods. I enjoy shortcuts and more buttons on camera, lately I am getting biased towards using back button focus. So all basics covered. I have following lenses:- nikon dx 18-105 (kit lense) nikon fx 50 mm 1.8D tamron fx 70-300 VC -- will probably sell this. zoom is not enough even on dx. tamron fx 28-75 f2.8 DI -- planning to use this with FX for daily use Now to my main question. Even though I enjoy using D7000, I think I can do better with FX sensor. I am interested mostly in still pictures, in fact I never shot a single video using my D7000. I mostly do landscape, wildlife is limited to zoo, and portraits are limited to family, I use DOF for flowers, birds and small objects here and there. I would really like to be able to use the DOF of an FX camera and the light sensitivity which I presume that should be 1.5 time better at least. Now since this is just the hobby, I have limited budget and I can only afford own just one camera. I am currently in Australia and thinking of selling my D7000 with 18-105 kit lense which should get 700~800 $ back to me. I am looking for one of the three cameras (used) - D700, D750, D800. A fairly used D700 will cost me around the same for which I will sell my D7000. D750 will cost around 1300-1400 $ and D800 around 1700$. Going to a D700 ideally should not cost me any money since all my lenses except the kit one are FX lenses. But I was thinking whether I should settle for D700 or wait some time, save money and switch to D750 or D800. This is where I need your help. Since I am limited by my budget, a lot of my knowledge about other cameras comes from youtube and google. But hey, there is no better forum you could ask this question to..... [/QUOTE]
