Did Nikon send you a free one to play with John?
If not, then they should - look at just how much this site does for them :p

Almost not fair to compare current price. As launched it was $100 different. I'm still thinking I need to write a letter to tell them my disgust at not using the same battery pack. Form is pretty darn close if not exact. I guess they need to make money where they can.

Are the batteries different?

Reports state that the D7100 will use the EN-EL15, same as the D7000; confusion maybe due to the upgraded charging unit?!?

Same battery listed as the D7000 and D600 (a plus for me). Not sure why the change in chargers, but it'll give me a backup to my backup.

That's a good idea. I'll ask my contact :)

Hahaha - in all honesty I was kinda hoping the answer was yes but you were keeping it a secret :p
Of course, should your contacts say yes, and you have no time to 'play' with it... I shall be the first to offer my services and say, point them in my direction :)

Sad indeed :(
But on the plus side, come end of March, they will hopefully send you something.

I'll be hopefully getting some hands on use this weekend at the photography show here :)
 
body + Lens = image quality you can look at bodyspecs all day but if you read Hogan the 18-105 supplied is not up to the job.....but then what is ???

I have been thinking about this same issue for the last couple of days as I am looking to upgrade to a better camera and I am thinking the D7100 could be an option for me.

Not the cheapest option, but sounds like the 17-55 f2.8 would be a nice choice.

There is also the 16-85, but from what I have read, it is not any better IQ wise, than the 18-105, maybe someone who has used both can tell us otherwise.

Another option would be the 24-120 f4, if you can live without the wider range up to 24mm, I am liking this option as it leaves the gate open for an upgrade to FX later on.

Interested to know why you think FX is an upgrade? all you will get is a bigger viewfinder and less depth of field.

Every review I have read says you will get better IQ with a D600, or D800, and also better performance in low light.
The only downsides that would affect me is losing the reach with my 300mm, and less depth of field which I would miss doing macro.............. and price.

so why would the 24 mp of a d600 be any better than the 24 mp of a D7100 ?

Have a read of the many experts opinions in the online reviews.
I dont pretend to be an expert, but I do take notice when the majority, if not all of them say the D600 will produce better IQ.
