If you really want to get into photography and want to keep improving your game, I would recommend an FX. Only because, your glass (lenses) will be FX and as you improve, and your body (camera) becomes outdated, you just replace the body and wouldn't have to also replace all your lenses.
There's a lot more to be said than that, spend some time on dpreview.com and compare cameras. For example, compare a D7100 (DX) to a D600 (FX).
I have also found this website to be very useful, it's a website that people use to upload photos taken with particular lenses and/or cameras - Over a million full-size sample photos from SLR and mirrorless cameras combined with different lenses
Good Luck! |

They will work on a DX body, but they will just be cropped a bit. That is where your real investment is going to be. Good glass. You can look and see that a good FX body is about $3k where a DX one is under $1,500, but after getting a good set of glass, you're talking around $10k for a decent setup. |
Thank you Danny and Hep for the advice. So I'm thinking either a lower model like the D90 or D7000. But if I go big, I'll probably buy my friend's old D3 that I learned the basics on
But I'm definitely going to invest in some top quality glass.
On that note, any suggestions for lenses?
