What lenses have you bought? Will they be compatible?
I know I'll get panned for this, but what do you think you will gain from going Full Frame?
By your own admission you have very little experience, the camera is almost certainly not the weakest link in your photographs (it'll be you ).
Don't take that personally, I don't have the greatest gear, and I have close to 30 years shooting behind me, and I'm the weakest link in my kit.
It's your money, and you might have a bottomless pit of it for all I know, but going from not understanding a filter size to needing a full frame camera in less than a month? My advice would be some training and then maybe some photographic trips out to get some use out of your current gear if you really want to spend some money.
Of course there are plenty of people who have photography as a hobby for whom the gear is far more important than using it - if you're joining that club, you'd better get a D800 because if you get anything else, you'll only end up upgrading when you realise you didn't get 'the best'
thanks all for your honest opinions and i do acknowledge all your efforts in taking time out and replying to my thread.
@phil: I acknowledge that my "less than one month" experience with cameras leaves me in no position to say that a full frame will fetch me better results. I have tried to take landscape pictures on my 50mm 1.4f and all i noticed was bright and white pictures. i tried different settings such as reducing the shutter speed (if that too much light exposure was the reason for white pictures)but the results were still not what i expected. I don't know if it wasn't the right lens for landscape photography and surely your 30 years photography experience will teach me many things. My bottomless pit of money (my husband) suggested full frame if i wanted better results. The lenses i have bought so far are 24-700mm 2.8f and a 50mm 1.4f.
@Nawty: yes i bought lenses that are FF compatible
@digitalRelish: thanks, am already thinking of either buying an old d700 or new d600...makes sense
@realspeed: thanks for a much straight forward reply. I would prefer video option in a camera and have looked at your suggestion on the link.

But overall focus speed,lowlight and build quality will make a difference.
Not to an over-expsoed shot it won't. All you are going to get is an overexposed shot with slightly better IQ in the areas of the shot that survived.
But you are right in that if you have the money and it makes you feel better then who are we to say what to buy. Just don't expect it to actually make any difference to shots that have very basic errors in them.
Just wondering what the benefit of focus speed and build quality would make a difference to when the issue seems to be with the ability to use any camera, that's all.
OP could maybe borrow a full frame camera to see that the results would be the same?
Given the age of the thread, maybe the OP has spent a lot of time practicing/learning and has now got exposure nailed and is ready to buy FF.
Or maybe she's decided she'll never get it and is now spending her evenings on 'Talk Cupcakes':shrug:
