I have a D600 and it is really good, the D610 is its replacement when some of the D600 had problems with the shutter spurting oil. No issues with my one thank goodness. You need to check on the suitability of your lenses to cover full frame (FX) sensor, any lenses marked with DX in their naming will be unsuitable!

Bay horses are much easier to focus on compared with the greys...![]()

I am afraid to say it, but if that's still the D90, the next significant quality improvement must be the camera body. You would see a noticeable step change in IQ and performance going to (say) a D7000 series body.

I am happy that I have the hang of the lens now and I am sure you are right about the body. I am keeping an eye out for an affordable upgrade to a more modern body, 7500 / 610 / 500 if possible - we will have to see when I can afford it!

Well - having heeded the excellent advice on here and swapping the D90 for D610 here are a few taken by a friend with my camera of Zara and I pursuing our other hobby ![]() I have been using the 610 with the 70/300 on manual with f8 or f11 with a speed of 1/400 and leaving auto iso on while keeping an eye on it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I think that the D7500 or D500 are worthwhile upgrades but not by much in terms of IQ but the AF will be faster. I still find my D600 to be very useable, the AF is slightly slower than the D500, D800, D850 and Z7 but not by a huge factor.

I find the AF is more than fast enough for my purposes and using one point means I can be accurate with the focal point in the frame. More importantly I could afford the 610 - the 7500 / 500 are still out of my range - horses are an expensive hobby!
