Thank you for all the thoughts. I know you can't make this decision for me but it really does help working through the process by hearing others opinions and suggestions.
I have had a bunch of cameras and lens combinations over the years. Because I "needed" them all? Well, no. I am a big tech person. My dream job would be somewhere where I could see cutting edge tech all the time without having to "buy and try." Camera body past: N80, D70, D200, D300, D5100, D7000, 5dmk2, T3i, 5dmk3, D5200. Of these my least favorite were the D300 and D7000 with the D7000 being a body that I absolutely hated. I loved the D200 and skin tones. It was amazing and ahead of it's time. I expected the D300 to elevate things to the next level. Nope, my D300 overexposed compared to the D200 and skin tones were not nearly as favorable. I really liked the D5100 but didn't like the AF. I thought the D7000 was would be fantastic. Mine was not. I sent it to Nikon for service 3 times. It had horrible back-focus issues that I felt were never corrected properly. I think that is why I shy away from the idea of the D7100. The 5dmk2 was great! i loved the FF body, especially for portraits. However, I did miss the reach of the crop body so I picked up the t3i and had both. The 5dmk3 was a nice camera, image quality was good but it felt awkward in my hands from day 1. I really did not like the weight and that is the #1 reason I chose the D5200.
I have shot professionally, but now due to other life circumstances, mostly shoot personal stuff only taking the occasional job. I shoot a lot of sports, both in bright light and in poor high school gym lighting. I also shoot landscape, and portrait in studio and out. I think what I really want doesn't exist and that is a light weight body with professional AF. I also like FF and crop both equally, depending on the job. If I only keep one, I think it would be a FF body. Although I could keep the D5200 as a back up.
I am leaning toward the D750 but what about the light leak issue? The D610 seems like a solid choice also but what does it's AF most compare to?
