Well I've been considering going full frame for some time now and I mean a looooong time. I was tempted when the D600 came out but it just didn't seem to be the camera for me. Then the oil spot issue broke and I watched one of our own struggle with getting the issue so much as acknowledged, much less repaired, by Nikon. That saga turned me away from the D600 for good. Then the D610 came along and I was, once again, sorely tempted. Still, something about it seemed off to me and I just wasn't feeling the love. My D7100 was rocking my world and I was able to ignore the FF "itch" for a little longer still.
Then those bastards at Nikon start leaking rumors of the D750. I followed the news closely and it seemed bad. Very bad... It was starting to sound like this could be the "it" camera for me. Then the reviews stared pouring in and I knew I was done for and that it was only a matter of time. The D750 appeared to be The Camera I Could Stick With For a Long Time; if Master at None the D750 was sounding like a real "Jack of All Trades" sort of rig, which really is just what I wanted. I haven't found my "voice" as a photographer so I don't want anything too subject-specific. Then I stumbled across an online deal I couldn't resist and, well... The FedEx man stopped by my place yesterday and I'm officially the proud owner of a brand new Nikon D750. I've updated some of the Menu settings but I haven't even taken her out for her maiden voyage yet. She's wearing an 85mm f/1.8G at the moment and I have a battery grip on order.
Next stop, I think, will be the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC to complement my small (but mighty!) arsenal of primes and with that I should be good to go.
