Going back to a crop sensor

If i had a d7100 I wouldn’t buy a D7200 but I would if I had the d7000, but 7100 may be all you need at a decent price
Hmm mpb prices not bad

You’re more indecisive than me! You clearly want to change so just do it, or do something. I’m sure whatever you get you’ll be happy. Then you can swap and change from there without losing too much cash if you swap/change. I’d go for a D7000 at a decent used price. Start taking pics again, and then if you want to upgrade in 6 months you should pretty much recover most of your money back
 
look at my recent pics in the bird section all with the 7200 , I have really taken to it

I find when it comes to any tech I become quite indecisive. There's too much choice out there and everything has its merits and cons. I probably spend too much time looking at stuff instead of using what I have.

That changes hourly!!

I don't know what your budget is but if you go for used kit maybe there's scope to have two systems to go some way to satisfy the GAS, give you lots of interest and also keep the budget down? :D Maybe an APS-C DSLR and a mirrorless camera are possible? One as a more or less full kit for your needs and the other a bit more limited but specialised in some way?

I find myself casually browsing online camera stores when I get bored it's too easy just to pick up the phone and have a quick look online. I do use my camera as much as I can but when I get bored I go looking at other stuff and wonder. I know deep down whatever camera I have the results will most likely be the same.

I hear ya! I've changed systems completely a number of times, I get settled in for a year or 2 max then I'm off searching again. There's no harm in it so long as you remember, it's all just gear end of the day Cliche or not, it's true! End results matter most, but of course we want to have the best set up tailored to our individual tastes to make the process comfy along the way.

I'm mid-shift again, looking to broaden my horizons so I too am back looking at gear reviews and what's on sale, what might suit my current mood more even. I know it doesn't matter what I'm using, I'll try make the best of it, but sometimes newer gear can inspire. I'd suggest looking to what might be most comfortable for your liking first, because end results don't actually vary that much between systems nowadays. If you can't get to camera stores to handle the gear physically then you're relying on watching reviews and trying to imagine how that gear feels in hand etc ... I have to do same, once I hone in on a certain body for example, I'll watch about 20 different videos on it, looking to see how different photographers found the ergonomics, physical controls etc ... it can be a long drawn out process
 
I’m going nec Monday,will play with all the cameras inc Leicas,gets rid of my gas for another year lol
 
Last year funny enough the only camera I went back to was a Panny ,it might have been the g80 or something like,think it was

I went from 5DIII to Fuji four or five years back, and while objectively it made for a lot smaller kit, with minimal difference to the pictures, and I was genuinely happy with the output at the time, when I would look back over older pics, I could't help but feel there was something missing, so much so I recently switched back to FF with Sony.

My head tells me there's no real difference between the images I took on my Fuji XH-1 and 56 f/1.2 compared to my Sony A7III and 84 f/1.4 for example (strict 'equivalence values' aside), but it was a nagging doubt, so my heart would tell me something was missing. I don't regret my 5 years with Fuji at all, but the niggle would not go away, and so I'm back! It could be just a itch to try a new system, but rightly or wrongly, the sensor size played a part in that decision.

One thing my previous switch from Canon to Fuji did cement in me was the move to mirrorless (hence the Sony). Nothing to do with size (it's not the camera that's heavy it's the lenses, and they are the same for FF regardless of which system), more to do with the utility and focus accuracy etc.
 
After shooting Canon for over 30 years, I'm now 100% Sony with the a7rii and a6300.
I came to Sony from Canon via m4/3 (Olympus EM-1)
Loved the m4/3 and was running the 2 systems for a while but trading the Oly for a used a6300 made more sense - same battery and lens mount.

I seem to use the cropped sensor a6300 more than the FF a7rii, both of which produce great results.
I think my a6300 images are better than the m4/3 but that pixel peeping to be honest

Using the same settings and similar lenses I'm sure the 6300 does produce better default images, but it depends on what you shoot too. If you mostly shoot still subjects like me, then the difference is negated because IBIS can be so beneficial. It can be the difference of 4-5 stops - this can be the difference between ISO 6400 and 400! [using the same SS] Then the M43 is going to look a lot better in that case.
