Talk to me about full frame camera (upgrade in progress)

I have roughly $4000 coming my way in 17 days.  I've decided it's time to upgrade my D300s to something in the neighborhood of a full frame.  

I've thought about the Sony A7RII or traveling down the path that I'm already familiar with.  That of course would Nikon.  From a budget stand point, it would seem I have 2 choices.  The D610 or D810.  Either way, I'll have a few bucks left over for a new lens.  If I go the D610, the lens I can get will be of higher quality of course.

So, you mind me asking what direction you would go?

Why so serious?

Agree go with the D750 for around $1700 from B&H.  With your budget you have indicated, you'll have enough left over for a lens or two!

Oh yeah, that D750 is the easy pick.  That should be plenty of camera for your needs.  That's going to be a huge upgrade in terms of performance and features.   And you'll have a nice bit of your budget left over for new glass.

Exactly.  If you don't have a 70-200mm, you will after!

+1 on the D750. Great camera. Lots of $$ left over to pick up some great glass as well. If you spend on anything, spend on lenses.

Why not go for a D4, seeing that the D5 is out, prices of these have fallen.  Just saying.

You need to know why you want to go full frame. Do you need it or just want it. I would consider the D500 if it were me, but if full frame is what you desire, I echo the D750 or a used D810. The Sony has advantages and disadvantages. You need to research to see if those will benefit or detract from how you shoot.
