Hello guys!
Back again after a few months after asking for help over a potential upgrade from a Nikon D5100 to something more rigid. After some discussion going on with people here on the forums I ended up going for a D7100 and man it's a splendid camera, I like the display by the power button, size and most things with it.
But I stil had a feeling of "But what is the upgrade here"?
Sure I get more megapixels, I get a bigger camera like I wanted, but aside from that it's basically the same (Yeah more focus points and many other improved specs but you get the general idea). Lenses I put on from my D5100 gives pretty much the same result on this camera.
During my post I was thinking "Well.. I want an FX most of all, but I'll never be able to afford that."
That was apparently just naive thinking since you can get some really nice fx cameras for not too much, I realized this AFTER I bought the D7100 and now I'm looking to sell it so I can get something FX.
My eyes are set on the D800 since they're getting more affordable in the used market, has a whopping 36 megapixel, is FX and seems the be a powerhouse for a hobbyist like me. But cheaper options are also D600, D610 if I want to add a little extra, d700 if I want to get something on the cheapest side in cost of age (not worth it imo since it's getting dated compared to alot of other FX variants). And so on.
What are your thoughts? The used D800 prices are basically as far as I'm willing to go, since I'm selling my D7100 with it's 2 batteries and battery grip for 4500 sek (swedish krona) I'll just add the in-between for the new camera, but I don't want to put a fortune in that.
Is the D600 worth going for since it's significantly cheaper? Heard about some "oil stain problems"? Something with the sensor getting dirty and long service times? Dunno, might've been rumors.
Hit me!
Thanks
