Hello all, very excited as I finally bit bullet and got my D7100 this morning. Just a few questions right off the bat - where are these cameras built? I was under the impression they were made in Japan, but the camera box says this camera was built in Thailand. Also, is there any way to determine what the build date was from the serial number? Just now charging up the battery - as I said, just opened the box! :excitement: This will replace my D70s but I will definitely be hanging on to the D70 as a backup. Just so excited!
