This has been a subject of quite a bit of debate... I know, but I am still undecided as to which one to buy and I would like the input from you guys, so here's the thing:
Currently I "own" (not really own, borrowed from family member for as long as I want) a Nikon D5000 with a Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.4-5.6 G VR (DX) and a Nikkor AF-S 55-200mm f/1.4-5.6 G (DX) lenses and I mostly do Night photography (Astrophotography, Cityscapes, etc.), but I am also starting to do street photography and will more than likely (at least for day photography) stick with landscape photography for the most part.
That being said, I am looking for an upgrade so I can finally have a camera of my own. I was looking at the Nikon 610 - Body only ($1,989.00 USD) because of the FX format since I heard and read that it performs quite better than the Nikon D7100 in low-light conditions and has better picture quality at high ISO. Of course doing this upgrade will mean that I might have to consider getting high-quality glass (I think) because lenses like the ones I currently own might not do the work, of they will just not work at all on FX format.
But with all honestly, is it "worth" the ugprade to a D610 rather than the D7100? - if I get the D7100 I can definitely afford a high-quality lense and also benefit from the D7100 crop factor for my landscape (night/day) photography.
Kind of confused here, so far I could see as a viable option to get a D7100 with high-quality glass instead of the D610 which has "better" quailty because of the FX format with low (or medium) quality lenses (like the ones I won- if they work) which in term will mean that I might even be able to benefit from the full-frame quality.
Anything is much appreciated, thanks in advance folks...
