Finally made the jump to FX. Started out with a D40 in 2006 and upgraded to a D7000 in 2011.

Overall, I was fairly happy with the D7000, but over the years I acquired some of the better Nikon glass (24-70, and 70-200), and finally decided to go with an FX camera to take advantage of that. I also was attracted to the increased dynamic range and sharpness the D800 offered.

Now however I am wondering if I should have just sucked it up and spent the extra $200-$300 for the D800E ? I did do some research and weighed the pros and cons of each, and initially did not think the extra money for the E version was worth spending based on reports I read that the difference would only be noticeable under certain conditions. The fact that I could put that money towards a better tripod than what I currently have was also a deciding factor.
