I'm about to move into digital from film and I've been having a devil of time trying to decide between DX and FX. I could buy a Canon 7D or a Nikon D300 or I could buy a Canon 5D Mark II or a Nikon D700. Money isn't the issue but I hate to throw money where it's not needed, especially since I will also have to get a good set of lenses (probably about 3). Anyway, I won't be doing commercial or fashion photography. I do mostly portraiture, landscape, and low light photography. Most of my stuff winds up in magazines or in exhibitions. I understand that FX gives me better control of depth of field and that the sensor is larger. But I don't know if the differences between the two are significiant enough to make me want to go to FX. Happy to do it and coming from medium and large format, my tendency is to go for the bigger sensor. But, for what I do, is it worth it? Oh, don't do weddings. I'd rather dig ditches.
