Weebee, if anyone told me my D7100 was not a "worthy" camera, I would likely have had a similar response
There aren't many great forums out there, are there? I quit Nikonians ages ago because of the "experts" I encountered. Also, I'm happy to pay a little to keep a site up and running, but their charges are silly.
Recently, I joined the Stunning Digital Photography group on Facebook. There are a lot of beginners, and also some very accomplished photographers. While there are mostly encouraging and positive posts, there are still "experts" who have probably been at this for a year or two who always advise post processing the picture into something it never was.
There are also the people who "help" a young kid with the advice that he needs a $1000 lens instead of the kit lens he has, because the kit lens is just a toy.
I really like the positive feel of Nikonites. Rude behavior is pretty rare here.
