[QUOTE="aroy, post: 305320, member: 16090"] Get the D7100. It has an inbuilt motor, so you have AF with all those "D" lense. For example the 50mm F1.8D is as good and lot less expensive than its "G" counterpart. The D7100 is a more rugged camera. [B]Portraits[/B], as suggested get the 85mm F1.8 lense. On a DX sensor the "D" is slightly better. On the FX the "G" has better corner sharpness. [B]General photography[/B], as suggested, get the latest 18-55 VR-II lense. It is exceptional, and barring where you need exceptionally sharp images or low light it is hard to beat.
