With all respect of course, I guarantee, if you sent out the same portrait to 25 clients, one on a d300 and one on a d750, and asked "which one do you like better?", or "do they look the same?" You'd get the following response...
Of course it would be difficult to impossible to get the exact same portrait, but if you could and equivalent aperture etc were used, almost every single person would say they look the same. The other outliers would just guess at one. And, the reason is simple, they pretty much would be the same.
More resolution, or edge sharpness may be great for like a forensic photographer. I don't see many of those in these parts though.
I just honestly can't tell you how surprised I am that intelligent, knowledgeable photographers say they're "huge" differences between these sensors. It totally blows my mind. Pixel peeping means effectively nothing.
Another example, if a great photographer shot a group portrait tomorrow but switched to a d300 and say the new sigma 18-35, it would be absolutely, unequivocally ALL about the lighting, posing, expressions. Just like any great portrait or group portrait. I'm betting like .01 percent of the population would even know anything was different from the photographer's usual work, and that would be after pixel peeping, which is entirely and utterly useless.
If there is a difference that only matters to photographers between certain equipment, that is no difference at all. Of course we are taking this in the context of the ops question who is asking about how her equipment will hold up for her customers in her studio setup. If the question was about getting published in magazines or getting your landscapes into a prestegeous showing the discussion and answer may be quite different.
In short, many in this thread have advised there is a "huge" difference between these sensors. From her customers pov that it simply not true, and that was the question. This advice is stearing him or her into buying very expensive gear that will add absolutely nothing to what he or she offers, from the client's pov anyway. Bad advice, poor statements, bottom line. I think the op should get a d7000 series, since focus was mentioned. Go with sigmas new art line for lenses and at this point, believe me, nobody is going to see a difference at all and you just about halved the price you spent on body and lenses when compared to full frame systems.
