[QUOTE="247th, post: 386288, member: 34775"] Hi guys, this is my first post here! When I became interested in photography I started out shooting with a fun little D3100. It was great fun and I learned on it for years. I borrowed lenses from family and was amazed at the depth of field I could create outside the kit lens. The sharpness of their lenses really blew me away also. I had no idea what I was missing out on until I borrowed a full frame camera and some quality glass. A D600, some primes, and 2.8 zooms. I had missed out on so much, and foolishly thought my 35mm APS-C field of view was the same "wide angle" everyone else was seeing on their film and professonal cameras. I wanted to join the full frame world too, so I gave my D3100 to a family member (was great to learn on I dont regret that camera one second). Instead I purchased a Sony A7 at BestBuy because it was small, light, and cheap, but still full frame. What I didnt know was that most of the lenses for the Sony E mount are for their crop sensor cameras, and they only had about 5 native lenses that could use the full frame system. Their FF lenses are also expensive with the least expensive one being $800 new. Im considering selling the Sony and returning to Nikon. Is having all of those lenses available worth leaving a system that you find comfortable and ergonomic to you? There are many pros to the Sony though, one in particular for me is big, I can look through the viewfinder without my glasses on and still see everything sharp and clear because of the EVF. Without glasses in an optical viewfinder I noticed I have a hard time focusing and my eyes strain more. EVF also helped make my manual focus spot on which added a certain joy to photography again. OVF seems somewhat... dim. I know you guys are a Nikon community and you are probably a little bit biased, but what would you do in my situation. I was considering the D750 because of the size, wifi, and tilting screen. - 247th [/QUOTE]
