Okay, here's the deal....I have two D7000 bodies. I've got a pretty significant investment in DX lens (10 the last time I counted). I've got a significant birthday coming up next May and my parents have basically indicated that for next May, they're going to get me a photo trip somewhere exotic (think: Iceland or Botswana or Yellowstone). Anyway, that's a push for me to upgrade my body.
Part of me has me thinking about upgrading to a FX body But realistically, an FX body isn't going to give me FX performance (in terms of color depth and dynamic range) for landscapes or shooting critters from a distance and in poor light if I"m using DX lens.
So now is the time for me to look at a body upgrade decision. I could upgrade to a D7200 and stay with my DX investment. Or I can switch to FX recognizing that I'd be adding FX lens gradually (finances are an issue).
Switching to an FX body and also acquiring several lens isn't an option at this point. So if I went with the FX body, I'd probably be shooting with DX lens for 6 months or a bit longer and then just adding FX options about one a year.
So...what advice do you give? Upgrade to a D7200? Or look at an FX model?
Also, just for background info...I shoot a wide range of subjects from weddings, sports, landscapes, wildlife, people, abstracts. I don't shoot video. fps doesn't matter much to me. Weight and size aren't big factors for me.
