I know there has been a ton of comparison between Nikon full frames with the new D750 coming out but I thought I would throw out the question but include my uses as the basis for a comparison as well as in my price range.
I am an avid photography enthusiast, not a professional. I have had a few paying photography gigs such as weddings and portraits which I enjoyed greatly. I imagine I will continue to increase the amount of paying shoots as my skill progresses.
My interest in photography is in this order: 1) Family & individual portraiture including weddings (mostly outdoor but some indoor - also mostly natural light but occasionally with multi flash wireless setup) 2)Landscape and travel photography 3)Sports photography (mostly ice hockey) 4)Food & product photography.... I would say that 2 & 3 are about equal.
I would also say that I am a cropper. I absolutely try to capture the frame in camera but quite often with sports, I end up cropping my selections. High megapixels have an advantage in this category.
I am quite happy with my lenses (look in my signature). With switching to a full frame, I plan to purchase the 24-70 2.8 and the 50mm 1.4. Other than that I am happy.
Now here are my options. I am setting about a $3000 price limit for the body. That leaves me with these options: 1) New Nikon D750; 2)Used Nikon D800 (or new clearance model); 3)Used Nikon D3S 4)As a possible stretch but most reluctantly I could get a D810 but it truly is out of my price range. No D810's on the used market as of yet in my area.
These are my options within my budget. Each has its pros/cons. I am familiar with all the specs inside and out. What I am looking for is real world opinions of people who have these cameras and what they may think given my interests. Each camera has a compromise and I just don't know which to go with. In the end, all are better than my D7000. I would also add that this camera must work for 3 years. I will budget for only one body every 3 years.
Thanks and I appreciate all the responses and opinions. Although I don't post much, the advice I have read on this forum has helped me tremendously over the last few years.
