Quite possibly a D7200 on the horizon.

Closer than you thought it appears.

If you don't need a large frame buffer then there will be some good deals on the D7100.

The D7200 seems like a minor upgrade at best.

Well, my vote goes to the D810. :-) Even if I did manage to drop it first time I used it - aaaargghh!!! It's OK but my lens is about to pay the repair shop a visit. :-(

I don't find the file sizes a problem. It's great being able to crop out the centre and still have a good sized image. I think I will find this useful when I get out and try and do some more bird photography. I'm not really up on the technical side of things but I am loving the new camera.

There is a Thom Hogan article on his site, I think, comparing the D750 with the 810. I think he liked both but came down on the side of the 810.

Glad to hear that your 24-70mm is going for a new filter ring. I hope the repair isnt too expensive.

I dropped my D3 and 24-70 while dashing to get a shot. Bounced off a wall hit the concrete floor ...and the lens flew into 10 pieces. D3 was fine.

Lens was reassembled, for c. £100... And I honestly feel it was a sharper lens for being reassembled!

I got distracted whilst putting the camera into it's bag(backpack style), didn't realise I hadn't zipped it up, slung it over my shoulder in a hurry and ... crash! Landed 24-70 first onto the tiled floor. It was one of those moments that seem to happen in slow motion as you look on in horror!! lol

The filter ring broke and the zoom is stiff. If I'm lucky it won't cost too much. If I'm not so lucky, it will be about 400 quid. EEK! My travel insurance only covers me for 300. Sigh...

JK the filter ring is only about 20 pounds. The zoom damage may bump it up to about 400!!

Hope it is the former rather than the latter.
