So I'm getting a new camera for graduation and am trying to decide between the D7100 & D600. Just trying to decide if FF is worth it. The only non-kit lens I have is a 35mm f/1.8 DX lens and an older 70-300mm ED lens (non AF-S non VR). If I get the D600 that's all I get and can't get any more lenses, but if I pick the D7100 I have enough $ for a new 70-300 AF-S VR lens (or something else comparable in price).
I've been comparing and reading reviews online all day and went to the local camera store and handled the two. The D7100 has a few nicer features (51pts of AF, higher res screen, and more movie modes to name a few) but the D600 is FF.
What do you all think? Get the D7100 and a new VR 70-300mm lens, or is full frame really worth the extra $$? I don't do a whole lot of low light shooting (unless its long exposure night shots)
I'd like to start doing a lot of landscape shooting and also shoot a lot of auto racing. I am pretty set on the D7100 and a new lens but am curious what others think.
What is your end goal? If it's just a hobby, then I would go for the D7100. Still plenty of camera. If you want to try to make a buck at it, I would go FX and start a collection of good glass.
