Yes
I have 2 D7000 mostly fx lenses, the wife is steeling one, so a good excuses to up grade to FX.

I could spend hours researching to find which FX handles the nearest to a d7000.

So changing from one to the other on the fly would be less problematic

However some nice guy may tell me and give me much more time to take Photographs .

Please
 
There probably isn't a direct like for like layout fx to dx. The nearest would be the d600/d610 or d750. Nikon are very good at making slight changes to the button layout on different models. The d7000 and d7100 was nearly the same but the + and - buttons were swapped over!
 
D610 and D750 are similar sized bodies or as close as you will get in FX. D750 is a vastly better camera than the D610 in terms of a.f performance.
 
As rob says, the + and - buttons have been swapped and it still p***es me off to this day.

I loved my D7k tbh and never suffered with any AF issues, even in low light, fast paced stuff etc.

The one area that did annoy me was the high iso performance. It was poor. So the move to FX would be worth it just for that imo. The D610 uses the same AF system as the D7k all be it cramped together in the middle of the frame so if you're happy with the performance of the D7k then the D610 would be worth considering imo. The BACS price from Panamoz is great.
 
I went from a D7000 to a D810 and it felt natural. Nothing to write home about.

Low light hi ISO is in a different league with the D810
 
I went from d7k which I loved to the d7100 (yuk) to the d600 (WOW) the difference is amazing!!!

You won't regret it for one nanosecond
 
As you are keeping one of the d7000's then the best way would be to try handling the d600/610 and d750 to see what works best for you. Nikon have made slight changes to button layout but the most used buttons will be the same place. One thing I love about the d750 is the top red record button can be altered to be the ISO button, it makes changing ISO a nod handed job (unless you use auto ISO then there is no need). Changing WB is a two hand job on the d750 as you have to hold the WB button and turn the dial. I always thought it was a one hand job on the d7000/d7100 as I thought you only pressed the WB button and it remembered you pressed it.
 
I've gone from the D7000 to the D750 the body is slightly larger than the D7000 and the 610 is larger again (slightly) it depends if you think the pull out screen on the D750 would be of use to you or not because other than that not a huge amount of difference that I know or more appropriately understand. I love my 750 it feels great in the hand and it was a natural progression for me and I'm glad I upgraded but I do miss the 7000 but its more of a sentimental attachment than anything else.
Try to get somewhere where your able to handle both and even the D810 you don't have to buy from them but you'll come away knowing what you want
 
+ and - is one of the things that put me off ever buying a Nikon after seeing this in a magazine, It's like they done this to please leftys, Now there's a thought, is there any left handed SLR's out there?

Sorry it's a little bit of topic.

What's wrong with the + and - . If you are referring to which way round they are on my camera there is a setting in the menu to reverse them so you can have them either way round to suit yourself.

Are those + and - ones. I wasn't sure which ones he meant. Yes they are bl--y annoying after using the d7000 for four years. At least the D750 has the same layout on the left so both will be the same when I get it.

I may be wrong as I'm not a Nikon user but didn't or they still are, the + and - is this way round for exposure setting instead of - and + as is on canon?
