G.A.S. Dilemma D750 or D7200? (Page 2): Well, I use my older D300 (DX) along side my D800e. Difference is that from the get go I purchased my lenses knowing I would step up to FX...

Well, I use my older D300 (DX) along side my D800e. Difference is that from the get go I purchased my lenses knowing I would step up to FX sooner than later. I have a single 'do-it-all' DX lens: a 18~200. All the rest are prime FX.

When Nikon presents its own super megapixel camera (50MP) or more I'll let go the D300 and spring to the new one, after waiting 1 year to check the feed back first. I am anything but spontaneous when it comes to photography.

the D7200 is a marginal upgrade of the D7200.
the D750 is more worth it imho.

I can feel it from you and many others but I'm not fighting it very much.

I had the similar dilemma a few years ago. I was waiting for the D7100 to be released and in the meantime the D600 came out. The rest is "Insanity," oppps. "History!"
Get the Full Frame D750. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

Sounding less and less insane!

I started out wanting to upgrade to FX and then was interested in seeing what the new D7200 would provide, so will probably go D750.

The 5200 is a very capable DX camera. I doubt that since you have already considered FX, you won't be happy until you get one. At least that's the way it worked for me. Do you need two DX cameras?

I love the fact I have one of each.

Supposedly the reviews I read on the new Nikon D5500 say that it is great in low light. You might check them out. If I had not recently bought my D5300 I'd be purchasing the D5500. Good luck with whatever you buy.

A cropped sensor camera will give you the same perspective and more depth of field as full frame when lenses are used on each that result in the same field of view. Shooting from the same location a 24mm lens on a 1.5x cropped sensor camera gives you same perspective as a 35mm lens on a full frame camera. Objects in the scene are the same size from front to back. The cropped sensor camera gives more depth of field. Photographer Neil van Niekirk did a great article on the topic at this website:

I think I will like that also, my wife cannot understand why I'd want to have two cameras.

That's what I figured you meant.

I too am a hobbyist with photo interests like you. I have been struggling with the same idea as you going from DX to FX and here is where I'm at. I really like the speed in which the camera bodies are changing, almost daily. I picked Nikon when I first starting getting back into photography a few years ago. I liked the DF when it came out but I also shoot video, the D810 is a great camera but I don't need 36mp & I'm not keen on the size & weight of the body either, when the D750 came out I thought I would really like that body until I learned it has a low pass filter.

My decision is that I would start investing in "quality glass", my first purchase over the holiday's was a 24-70 f2.8, the photo's I've taken with that piece of glass on my D7100 has blown me away! The difference is night & day to me. Right now I'm perfectly happy with my camera body & will continue to add the 70-200 f2.8 (I'm waiting for the brown truck). I will probably move to an FX body but right now the glass has me really excited & content with my D7100.

You can't go wrong getting a newer body, but you need the glass to go with it.
