Hello everybody,
In a couple of days my Tamron 150-600 will arrive and I really need your advise on what body I should buy (for wildlife - birds mainly, sometimes foxes, wild boars, e.t.c.).
I don't think I can save enough money to buy d810, so I have to choose between D610 or D7100.
Conditions and limitations:
1) we don't have much sun here which means constant high ISO settings, so level of noise has to be as low as possible
2) I often have to crop and use for PP no more than 1/3 of my pics as most birds that we have here are really shy and small (average distance to the subject - 30 m/100 feet)
3) I'd like my pics to be as sharp as possible as from this depends if I can identify the bird or not (that can be disappointing after chasing little thing for 3 hours in boggy forest)
From what I've learned telephoto lenses seem to show lack of sharpness with DX bodies (due to smaller pixel size? ) DxOMark didn't test Tamron Nikon yet, but results for the new Nikkor AF-S 80-400G are: on D610 = sharpness 15, on D7100 = sharpness 9. I assume we'll get similar gap with Tamron?
But I've found plenty of excellent photos of birds on flickr with D7100 + Tamron 150-600.
So if you need acceptable crops (as sharp and as little noise as possible) what would you choose: DX or FX?
Please tell me what you think, really appreciate your help!
