Im a new photographer but have started to do family pictures as well as I have a wedding coming up that I will be photographing!! So Im looking to upgrade my Nikon D40 body as well as what are some lenses that I should invest in??? Ive been eyeing the Nikon D610 for the full frame...but perhaps a more affordable option is the Nikon D7100 and then purchase some great lenses??????????? Any thoughts????javascript:emoticon('
The D610 would mean new lenses...as I assume you currently only have DX lenses for the D40 ....and they don't work that well on FX bodies.
So the investment would be higher all round. Do you want to spend that much??? Are you going to do more weddings or 'pro' photography?
Personally I would go with the D7100 and an 18-105 DX VR lens.
It would cover all the angles you need for portraits and groups.
Although FX cameras tend to produce slightly better images than DX cameras that's more to do with the FX photographers having expensive 'pro quality' lenses attached. Put a consumer lens on an FX body and it will not outshine a DX camera with a DX lens.
