The below will link you to the others in the D300 series, most excellent, all you need.
The owners manual is avail on nikon.com for download free

I use Nikon capture NX-D and shoot RAW only with both Nikons. NX-D emulates the in camera JPEG setting for colour, wb etc or you can go full manual processing on each value. I use it with Picasa which it seemlessly integrates with. Best part = free downloads. I am a huge fan of free.
You can of course buy expensive software from vendors or keep doing what you are doing.
Again, good luck and post up some of your favs....you will love that camera absolutely blows away what you have been using for handling and features especially AF! It is Pro!

Great advice! Jack can really help with the setup! 
@Blacktop I'm taking great care of her my friend! Maybe you can get another one soon for backup buddy!

Kind of wanting a FF as a backup for Emmylou.
Not backup buddy, as a combo to go with your D7100! The FF will open a whole new door for your type of shooting my friend and would likely be your goto Nikon!
The D700 has done that for me, and I'm not even the big wide angle shooter you are!

I understand Bill. I was making a funny. Seriously a FF would be a great addition to the 7100, as I'm getting better, (or at least think that I'm getting better) at my landscapes.
Lol I'm hoping to eventually pick up another D700 when they get cheaper, so I'm loving full frame! Lol
I think a D600 or D610 is a sweet kit in combo with a D7100.
Prices are plummeting too.
IMHO of course.....
Back on topic I will have a D300s as an upgrade as soon as I see a dealeo like the @Redtail55 scored! I just passed up another D700 with 1000 clicks and 3 batteries MB-D10 grip boxed for $900. One pro FX and DX is all I need.....but want one of each....kit perfection for me!

A few winter snaps with D300 /kit zoom
Didn't feel it important enough to start a thread so I though I would just tag on here....a few winter scene pics from this AM taken during running pre blizzard errands.
Pics either 55-200 AF-S VR or 18-55 VR with D300 Nikon capture NX-D slight cropping and cloudy saturation vs. recorded standard value.
We have a blizzard warning for late this afternoon thru Monday AM so I fully expect my mailbox will disappear.....

Yes.... My D300 is too old...
For me D300 and D700 is perfect kit, pretty much handle identical......
Prices on D700 still not dropping below D7100 from what I can see though.
I think you have spoken for many with the same situation. For.me, it is about going FX or stay on dx. The main reason for considering FX is low light ability and the only shortfall for my D300.
I read many reviews that d7100 is great if not equvilent to d610 or d600 for low light. I tested both but couldn't feel any different. Anyone out there care to share?
