Need a little more detail - what lens, etc.
Obvious things - Change the battery.
Is the view normal through the finder? What do the exposure numbers say compared to another camera/meter?
One thing I love about my D90 is it has always been spot on exposure wise - even in near HDR conditions. So maybe a repair in your future?

Thank you. Bear in mind that was the Christmas morning when I just go the D610, before I learned how to do anything but use Auto, with the 28-85. I am personally pleased at the sharpness of that portrait, given the circumstances. Zoom in, and you can almost count her hairs.
And I do often walk with my Nikon 24mm D when I know I am going to want a wide lens.

I have the 24-85 and it is on my D600 all the time. It "IS" my walk around lens. It is exceptionally crisp and I love it. The only time I remove it is for the 70-300 or the 150-500.
This! Quite a good lens for the 610, especially at the price.
Love mine! On a DX though it is about 36 - 128 which may not be wide enough for you.

Nikon D50 - 2 Lens kit on closeout. My daughter is still making good photographs with it.
I went to the D80 (which I didn't care for), then the D90 which I love.
But, my D610 blows them all away, and I can use my old Nikon glass easily.

Both are pretty nice for that light. I remember what pushed Tri-X would have looked like in those conditions!

Me too. If you look in my sig , you'll see my collection of D lenses. not looking to let any of them go, for sure.

Try KEH - great quality lightly used lenses at good prices.
Nothing but good things to say about them.

I use the 50mm f1.8D on my D610. Occasionally on the D90 - mostly I don't really need 75mm equivalent with a large aperture very often; so with the D90 I mainly use my 35mm f1.8g.
I don't find the 50mm f1.8D particularly soft, and neither does DxO Mark, from what I can see. I like mine.

But no one with a significant investment in Nikon glass wants a Sony.

several transactions with Cameta over the years, and never a problem.

I upgraded from my D90 to a D610. Knew I was going to do something like this for a while, so I had already invested in a bunch of FX glass (see my sig). MInd you, I've not shot a 7100, but I believe it to be an evolutionary upgrade to the D90.
The D610 is the first digital camera I've had where the color balance and saturation rivals film. I don't even WANT to put a zoom on this body! (Can't afford the Big Boy Zooms). Which is fine - the primes are small and what I was used to carrying in my FA/F2 days. Most of the time I have the 24mm F2.8D on.
Long winded way to say this is a GREAT camera, IMO.
This summer, I will make a trip to the NC Zoo. For that, I'll use the 70-300, which I expect to be competent. I'll take the 35mm f2 for low-light....

Starting with the 24-85mm to go with the 70-200mm is good. If you feel that full frame will help your photographs, go for it!

If you go used, be sure to check out KEH.com - Their lenses are usually better than described.
