Any point in upgrading?

I love gadgets and I love photography. I have a D3200 and love it - it is light, portable and takes some damn good shots but I feel like Ive got the best out of it.

The only place I have seen it falling short is fps for motorsport shooting - 4fps and a small buffer shooting RAW I wanted more...but I'd need a D7500 to get a big improvement! Thats huge wedge and failing to justify it even for a toy...

A middle ground D7200 is £700 ish and it gives 6fps but other than that, is it worth it?

I think FPS is a bit overrated for most applications including motorsport. I guess it's handy when a 'moment' happens right in front of you but otherwise, can't see that the leap from 4 to 6 is going to do much for you. You'll find the viewfinder and AF better on the D7xxx cameras though. That might be worth the asking price but personally I'd rather shoot motorsport with my D3 or a D300s. Old work horses, not shiny, worth naff all but just get the job done.

I was at the Festival of Speed and then Austrian GP shooting with my Tamron 70-300 SP and it did some very good shots but the gaps between the frames was huge, especially at F1 speeds. Maybe its my technique and I should be going for single shots when panning but I would love the ability to pick and choose later.

For landscape and everyday shooting it is great (more AF points would be nice...) though. Don't need anything more.

If I could have a lens instead it would be a 70-200 f/2.8...

Thanks for the D7500 review

I do still really want a D7500 and it probably will be my upgrade of choice but I've bought myself a new laptop (2017 MacBook Pro - shiny lovely thing!) and got Lightroom CC to quicken my post-processing...

so I'll stick with my D3200 for now as when I look at some of the photos on the random photo thread I realise how much my own skills need to improve before my camera becomes my limitation!

These niggles are back.

And when looking at the D7500 with lustful, dirty eyes, it dawned on me that the D750 can be had for very similar money (within £200).

What I do feel like I am missing out on is proper wide landscape shots...

I feel I should go full-frame or go nowhere now!

Anyone know if a D750 replacement is on the horizon?

Put a 10mm lens on your current camera. Is that wide enough?

If you go FF consider how many lenses you may have to replace - and FF is more demanding on lenses so you'll need high quality ones.

You're right - but it's something I can't find an answer too....do you get more distortion with an APS-C and a 10mm lens vs a FF and say a 16mm? Same field of view, but is it a more distorted image?

I would only need to change one of my lenses - my 35mm F/1.8G DX would need to be changed to a 50mm F/1.8G but that would be a really nice lens for general purpose.

I've spent most of my evening doing housework and having Youtube reviews of D750s vs D610s vs D7200s playing in the background (I'm wild, I know) and I just can't make up my bloody mind!

There is no clear answer here.

In terms of what I like to photograph:

Everything.

Not helpful, but I do Motorsport (Both the big Goodwood events each year, a Grand Prix, at least one BTCC round and odds and sods), touristy walk about in old cities, landscapes and I like flowers too. So it's a mixed bag of requirements. If I didn't do motorsport, I'd get a D610 and be happy with it, but the D750/D7500 have much better Autofocus by the sounds of it...so motorsport!

Come back next week and ask me
