OK, I know "which camera" is the most stereotypical question in these threads. But I'm ready to upgrade from my Nikon D3100 that I got in 2011. And all of the options I'm looking at are such a big improvement that I don't know which to settle on. Hell, I can't even decide whether to stay with a DX body or go to FX. On the DX side, I'm looking at a D7200, D7500, or D500. On the FX side, I'm looking at a D610 or D750.
Whichever camera I get, I also will be getting a 60mm f/2.8 macro lens, and probably an 85mm f/1.8 (now if I get one of the cheaper bodies or later this year if I get one of the more expensive bodies). My current lens lineup includes my 18-55mm kit lens, a 35mm f/1.8 (DX), and 50mm f/1.4. I'm aware that if I go to full frame, the kit lens and 35mm will be obsolete. My main interests for shooting currently are portraits, landscapes, and architecture, maybe with some action sports (skateboarding, etc.). I also want to shoot some video, although that isn't as big of a concern for me.
So here are my questions:
>Is switching to full frame worth basically starting over on lenses?
>If full frame is worth it, are the D610 or D750 specifically worth it, or should I skip them for a D810 or D850?
>If full frame isn't worth it, is the D500/D7500 sensor worth the extra cost over the D7200?
In order to not be 100% cancerous, here is the photo I took in 2007 that really made me want to do more photography.
