<p>Thanks a lot guys! Based on your replies, I think I will most likely get the D7200 instead along with a 70-200 2.8 VR1 or a 18-35 f/1.8. Maybe even both. </p> <p>You guys are amazing. Thanks again!</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the input guys. It is very much appreciated.<br> I did my research on the D7200 and it seems pretty good which was out of what I expected. As for DX being good in ISO 3200, it probably is on the D7200, but definitely not the D3200. I had this mindset where the AF on a crop isn't as fast / as good as what's on a FF, but I guess I was wrong. The amount of noise / color noise is noticeably more obvious on the D3200 as compared to the D7200 especially in black / dark areas. There's also this link I found that shows the difference in noise: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=lowlight&attr13_0=nikon_d3200&attr13_1=nikon_d750&attr13_2=nikon_d7200&attr13_3=nikon_d610&attr15_0=raw&attr15_1=raw&attr15_2=raw&attr15_3=raw&attr16_0=3200&attr16_1=3200&attr16_2=3200&attr16_3=3200&normalization=full&widget=1&x=-0.8546513639771612&y=-0.15960598525124337</p> <p>The main reason why I felt the need to change my camera was mainly because there were a lot of shots I missed due to focus hunting. But having the extra stop or two in addition to the AF would definitely be much better. As for the price different between the D750 and D7200, it's pretty signifcant, the D7200 being ~2k cheaper (MYR) than the D750 which is priced at ~5.8k. But is the D750 worth upgrading to full frame for? Or should I stick with the D7200. </p> <p>As for lenses, I'm definitely looking into getting a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 regardless whether or not I'm upgrading my body. The 55-300 is something I'm definitely changing and looking to change when the time comes. Also one more thing is that the 17-55 sells used for ~600USD here while a used 24-70 goes for about 2x the price, which is ~1200USD. So it would be quite a lot of money coming out of my pocket to change the 17-55 for a 24-70. </p> <p>But a FF has this big appeal to it and I guess it's sort of an ego thing as well. I'm definitely not dismissing getting the D7200 now, but is the D750 more worth it in the long run? I mean I would definitely be a freelance photographer, but I doubt I'll be doing it professionally. </p> <p>I do make do with what I have and try to make the best out of it and I'm not just upgrading from the D3200 because I want better gears, but it's more to I want better gears to be able to get more shots and miss less shots. Here's some photos of concerts/live shows that I took using the D3200.<br> http://www.flickr.com/photos/xerixe/sets/72157633741708019</p>

<p>I know the DX mode effectively reduces a the image to ~10MP maybe? But I'm wondering if this is still a somewhat okay resolution to use though. This is because the main reason of me switching to FX format is for the low light capabilities. </p> <p>I also plan to get a FF rather than a D7200 because I want to get something that I'll use and like for a number of years. I mean you can probably almost take the exact same shots in DX vs FX, but based on the D3200, I have this somewhat mindset that DX performs quite poorly in low light and tends to take a while to acquire focus. I mean the extra 1-2 stops of ISO would definitely be useful.<br> <br />Does the 7200 perform pretty well in low light? You mentioned that the 7200 has better AF, does it mean it can acquire focus as well, if not better than the D610 in low light?</p> <p>Thanks a lot for your responses btw! Really do appreciate it.</p>

<p>Hey guys,<br> I'm relatively new to the forum and was wondering if you guys have any tips / suggestions. I've been shooting with the D3200 for about 2-3 years now. While I did manage to get a lot of nice shots from it, I do miss a lot of shots because the AF takes forever to get focus. Will I see a big improvement in the focusing accuracy / speed if I'm upgrading to the D610 / D750?</p> <p>As I've read, the D750 performs better in low light as compared to the D610. The D810 is really expensive and I don't studio work so I figured that there's no point in spending the extra money.</p> <p>I currently have the following lenses:<br> Nikon 17-55 f/2.8G<br> Nikon 55-300 f/4.5-5.6G<br> Nikon 50mm f/1.8G</p> <p>I've been taking quite a number of event jobs and I've mainly used just the 17-55 and 50. Is using the 17-55 on a FX worth it? I mean I definitely have plans to get the 24-70, but that itself isn't cheap. Should I sell off the 17-55 and get a a few primes or get the 24-70 or just keep the 17-55 first? <br> Suggestions / tips are much appreciated!</p>
