[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 358079, member: 9240"] ^^^^ And mine as well. Ask yourself this, "What ISO would I [I]really [/I]need to use with my D7000 to do my 'low light' shooting?" I found that the D7000 essentially became unusable after 1600, whereas I find the D7100 at ISO 6400 to be as good as or better than the D7000 at ISO 1600. So, if you can live with chasing your kids around the house at 1600, you'll be more than fine with the D7100, and save yourself some significant money on the exchange of formats. People on the interweb go on and on and on and on about low light performance, but the question never gets asked, "What percentage of your shots are at high ISO?" If you're shooting 25% or more of your shots at 1600 or faster, then yeah, it's going to actually be important to you. [I]But[/I], the differences between the current crop of Nikon DX sensors and their FX counterparts is getting smaller, and for the average user the D7100 at ISO 6400 plus a decent noise reduction tool will be more than enough. Don't buy the hype. But, if it's [I]really[/I] that important to you, and you're going to change formats, wait for the D750 to shake out. Word on the street is it's better than the D810 in low light, and only $400 more than the D610. [/QUOTE]
