Loved my Canon AE1 back in the 80's, but am not considering crossing back as my existing equipment will work with either new Nikon. Thanks for the input

Yes, but I don't think I'll get G.A.S. for the next classes up.

Good for you Larry....

One of the main reasons as to the Why photographers stay with any given brand or make of camera IS for the fact that you have mentioned. NOT outside of "Loyalty" to a brand. For instance:

I have two Canon 5D Mark II's - a 7D - and an old XTi that is converted to only IR.

Most of my lenses are Canon and or Canon mountings - These lenses range from an 8mm "fish-eye" to a Tamron 150-600mm Telephoto. That is my reason that I have bought Canon and it is most likely the Why Nikon and Sony shooters keep with that brand. Anyone who begins "collecting" lenses soon finds that the lenses out cost the camera about twice as much. (i.e.= my Canon 5D Mark II with a 24-105mm lens, was only 2,600 U.S.D. // The 70-200mm 2.8 cost about twice as much as the camera body alone).

The camera is a "box" where the Photographer puts into it his images that later can, in post-editing, convey their FEELING as to what they saw at the moment of capture. With me, as well as other "artistic photographers", it IS that "something" that is Built up from within - rather than extracted from outside.

Am I "preaching to the choir" here ;-)

Pardon my "Soap-Boxing".

I had the same question with my D5300, great Camera, about moving to FX. I did and was I thrilled to tears with the D600. Of course I just had to move again to the D800E @ $1500.00. At 36MP my DX photos could not begin to compare to the ones I get with the D800E or the D600. So yes make the move to FX. It's a real thrill. There is a reason they label the D750 an Entry Level Pro Camera.
And remember a smaller DX sensor is still a DX.

Food for thought. If you are shooting sunsets make sure you get the latest release. I bought mine Jan 3rd and it flares around the sun. I sent it back and still waiting for a replacement. Nikon stopped making them and are just now issuing the new release. The Kit I got was with the 24-120mm. As of today that kit is expected in this week. After using it a little I think I would prefer the 28-300mm.

Tracyv, here is what Ken Rockwell says about the 28-33mm: "Personally, I prefer the 28-300mm VR on FX and film its longer zoom range and lower price. Its optics, mechanics, and ergonomics are the same as this 24-120mm; I think someone at Nikon accidentally reversed the prices of these two lenses, which were announced at the same time." The 28-300 is about $200 LESS expensive than the 24-120. -FiddleMaker

The Nikon 28-300mm is a pretty good all around lens. I used it for 1.5 years before I move to Nikon 28-85mm Nikon 70-200mm and the Tamron 150-600mm.

I haven't ordered yet but I think Adorama is only delivering the new releases. I have analyzed my EXIF from my D5200 photos and I only use 200mm about 6% of the time but 18mm over 27%. I will probably start with the 24-120mm.

There is a typo above. I meant to reference 28-300mm and NOT 28-33mm. I must have been half asleep when I typed the above error. Sorry. -FiddleMaker
