This is a useful resource if you want to directly compare sensor output - note the D610 doesn't really pull ahead even at 6400iso and if you compare it to other brands (I included a Fujifilm 26mp APSC body) it is well and truly beaten even though it's sensor is larger https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=daylight&attr13_0=nikon_d610&attr13_1=fujifilm_xt3&attr13_2=nikon_d7200&attr13_3=nikon_d5300&attr15_0=jpeg&attr15_1=jpeg&attr15_2=jpeg&attr15_3=jpeg&attr16_0=6400&attr16_1=6400&attr16_2=6400&attr16_3=6400&normalization=full&widget=1&x=0.5763247189672414&y=-0.18858878066013512

You will get a tiny, and it is a tiny gain in noise levels at very high ISO's switching from a D5300 to a D610 - BUT - you will loose your 1.5x crop factor so your 600mm lens stops acting like a 900mm which mean you are going to have to get closer (we all know this isn't usually possible) or crop during post production which will lead to a net loss in image quality. I appreciate you have already made a purchase but if you can out it on hold it might be worth doing so. The AF points on your D5300 cover a larger are of the screen which can give a significant boost to your keeper rate - your current camera has a larger, higher quality and fully articulated screen which the D610 lacks, might not seem like a major thing but trust me, once you are used to one, they're hard to live without. I don't know your exact overall budget but a D7500 or better still D500 would give you a far great gain in overall performance. They are faster, have better AF systems, more modern processors, articulated screens etc. The D500 if its within budget is basically a baby D5 and is frankly astonishing for the money. All current mainstream camera use CMOS sensors, they have done for donkeys years. Processors are a separate thing altogether and they gain significantly in performance with each generation.

Which camera are you using now - because the D610 sensor has a poorer performance than many current APSC sensors?
-
Out of curiosity what are you hoping to achieve by changing the size of your sensor?

Oooo....just spotted this. Thanks flower, it was a spectacular morning to be out on the coast

Thanks very much - I'm very lucky to live where I do and have a fantastic coastline to photograph

Thanks very much - I've told Thomas he has won and he wanted to know what his prize was ? Kids man

I somehow seemed to have been hoodwinked into being a judge so I guess I had better pick this months 3 winnings shots. In their original chronological order: #1 - a long lens and a teleconverter made for this excellent 'macro' shot by Clicker #2 - There are meant to be these critters near us but I have never managed to spot one, very impressive Ryewolf #3 - Look at that colour, gorgeous that JohnP

Stay At Home Challenge - Week 10

Been baking again- had some left over chilli con carne so knocked up some pastry, made mash with caramelised red onions and cheese mixed in then made a tray full of pies -
That’s typical for many cameras, has been for a while, as it’s a very unusual way to access data.

One of the best DSLR's on the market that...probably one of the last too. Nice performance boost from your 80, you'll love it.

I have switched from 'normal' bread to cultivating a sourdough starter and having a go with a more complicated baking process - first attempt -

Stay At Home Challenge - Week 8

Both now in the house. First one is benign enough but the second is a Woodlouse Spider and has a properly nasty bite...he's being careful with that one -

Decided to while away an hour or two yesterday shooting a bit of time lapse and video with the X-T3. I combined the stills into a video and re-timed it with FCPx then added the video clips and played about with their timing too. Added some colour grading, a sound track and a title. Nowt fancy as I'm just experimenting but I kinda like the feel -

He got a dozen adults and about the same in grubs (you don't want to see those) from college and is trying to get them to breed. Some of the grubs have pupated so we're waiting to see if they hatch successfully. No sign yet of baby stick insects from the dozen or so of those he also has. His frog spawn was far more successful. They hatched, the tadpoles grew, went through their morphs and he released a handful of froglets at the weekend. Absolutely amazing to watch them progress. He has triops on the go at the minute and the tiny jumping spider is still doing well. -
