<p>Hello all!<br> I ended up going with a D700 with 10,000 actuations on it. I love this camera, the FX sensor is brilliant and my outdoor work is improving drastically. <br> Still working on the indoor lighting.. the sensor is significantly more sensitive than my crop frame. <br> Great for wide angles, I'm not one for shooting with crazy focal lengths I like to move around. <br> Im also finding the interval timer and multiple exposure modes to be great. I've used them on 35mm cameras but never a digital. Who knows what I'll come up with using these features. <br> I'm in my last semester at my current school, next year will be filled with travels and studies, and this thing is coming with me. </p> <div></div>

<p>Awesome information! </p> <p>How important is shutter count? </p> <p>I know lower is better, but what would be a safe threshold? </p> <p>CF storage would be a pain at school, they've upgraded the systems with SD readers. </p> <p>I've figured my budget to be around $1,000. I like the D610 alot.</p> <p> </p>

<p>Thank you so much for your responses, data and opinions are like gold to me when shopping for gear. <br> My professor recommended a full frame to me this morning.. <br> Actually this brings up another option, I could get a full frame setup, for not much more than the D7100. As D600's are only a hundred-ish more. If i can see the potential, I would definitely spring for the bigger sensor. <br> I thought of this a few years ago while buying lenses, and all of my favorite prime's are setup for full frame. <br> Is this something to consider? Both have the feature buttons I'm looking for, but I would pay alot more for that sensor.. Or stick with the crop. Keep in mind, my lenses are full frame so no upgrading there. </p>

<p>Hello everyone<br> I am currently a college student studying photography, and I'm looking for opinions. <br> I've been taking photography classes in school since 9th grade, and I've always used my Nikon D3100. Its had 6 years of heavy school use. It works so well, and I refuse to get rid of it because it's a great little SLR.<br> I used to use the kit variable zoom lenses or a Sigma 17-50 but I'm finding I like Prime lenses more.. Lately I have been using a 50mm and having a blast. <br> I am so tired of messing through menus to change white balance and flash settings.. I know the D200's and up, have buttons for this... Tempting.<br> I guess my question is, are the feature buttons and options worth the upgrade price? I don't need more than 12 mega pixels, I don't need crazy FPS, just something that might or might not be easier to study on. <br> Or should I get some new filters and flashes to play with.. <br> I don't have a massive budget.. but a used D7100 is not out of my reach.<br> Thanks for your time! This site has so much information </p>
