Well, there are distinct advantages with DX but I have always tended to buy FX capable lenses, because I looked on DX as a temporary workaround while Nikon and their sensor suppliers figured how to make a good, cost effective FX body.

I don't like the small format particularly but it does save big bucks at the long end for lenses. A 450mm f 2.8 isn't even made, if it were, I hate to think what it would cost.

I would keep a foot in both camps, FX for quality and wide to normal, short tele, say up to 180-200mm and DX for leisure photography and longer stuff.
