This is exactly the kind of dilemma I'm having.
Have a D7100 and it was a HUGE improvement over my D3200.
But I seem to be photographing more and more of my family and dogs. Sure, I still like taking wildlife pics and football pics but the low-light here in the UK really is crap this time of year. Seems to be overcast all the time and I think I would really benefit from the low-light capabilities of the D610.
Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has one so that I could test it out and compare.
And, another thing that is stopping me, is that I really like the 51-point AF system on the D7100.
Is the 39-point AF on the D610 really that much worse?
I've been shooting the D7100 for about two years now, and I thought the 39 points would bother me, but I just recently had a D7000 as well. Sure, the focus points on the D610 is condense in the center, but I haven't had any problems with composition. I really enjoy this camera. It handles very well, and I like the results that I am getting from full frame (generally speaking).
I shoot wildlife from time to time and action shots of my kids. I haven't employed the 3D auto focus/tracking on either cameras. I use single point and wait for the shot that I am looking for. I don't spray and pray, so I can't attest to that comparison, but for what I shoot, which mostly are my kids, I love it. The low light performance is also night and day between the two. I think reviews state that it is a one stop advantage for the D610, but it makes a world of a difference.
