This question has been asked a billion times, please do a search.

Basically FX sensor is bigger, DX sensor is smaller. And all associated pros/cons.

Bigger sensor has better low-light capability, lower pixel density for equivalent megapixel, same field of view as 35mm film cameras.

Bigger sensor is also more expensive and require more expensive and larger lens.
