I currently have a D2X and a D200. Considering adding an FX format just for the sake of updating my really old technology and having the full frame format.
I currently have several older Nikon lenses such as the 18-200, 80-400, 18-55, 60m macro and a couple Sigma zooms including latest 150-600.
I am trying to decide if I want to go with a very nice D3 for about $1000 or a D610 for about $1500. I know the build quality doesn't compare, but I am wondering which one will actually produce the best overall shots for several years to come? The 610 has the advantage of 6 years of technology and 24mp compared to 12. The D3 is in a class of its own.
I have read hundreds of reviews on the D3, D610, D700, D750, D810 and the other lower priced versions such as 7100, so I am aware they are out there, but reading "about" and actually "using" are very different things.
I am a serious amateur at best and go through spells of taking many pictures and other times taking very few. I take shots any/everything including family, birds, landscape. Minimum sports. Had numerous Nikons over the last 46 years, so don't intend to change to Canon at this point in life.
