[QUOTE="skater, post: 249162, member: 19158"] I've had a 7000 for over two years now. The 7100 would be nice, but I'm not planning to replace my 7000 any time soon; the 7100 doesn't offer enough over the 7000 to justify the extra expense to me. If I were buying new right now, I'd go with the 7100, unless I was on a budget, like you were, that prevented it. The 7000 is a very capable camera. But cameras now are like Microsoft Word - 90% of the users use 10% of the features. The 7100 is like the slightly newer version of Word - a few updates, but it's likely none of those will matter to you in your daily use, unless you happen to be in that small percent of users that does need something the 7100 offers that the 7000 doesn't have. We still sometimes use our 70. By pretty much every measure, the 7000 blows that away, right? Yeah, except the 70 is still quite capable, too. My wife was using it while I was using the 7000 a few weeks ago on a visit to downtown DC, and I bet if I posted some pictures here you wouldn't be able to tell which camera took which. The difference between the 7100 and the 7000 is much smaller than the differences between the 7000 and 70. It's not the camera. It's what you do with it. A friend of mine takes simply amazing pictures in and around her city. She's getting those because she puts the effort in to get up early and catch the sunrise, or the shells on the beach, or whatever catches her eye that day. She does this with a point-and-shoot camera! [/QUOTE]
