That's a great deal on the Nikon I just bought the same kit from B@H for $1296. I belive the Nikon battery is a little more powerful though.

That is where I bought mine. There are many places that have the $1296 deal for the D7100 18-140 deal but B&H had the extra goodies with theirs for the same price. The extras just sweeten the deal.

D7100 body only was $1,146.95

and also funny was the [h=3]Nikon D7100 DSLR Camera with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX Lens for $1,296.95[/h]

Personally I never use anything but Nikon batteries. When you figure the price difference divided by the expected life expectancy of the battery the difference in cost is minimal and I prefer not to risk possible issues with third party batteries. I know a lot of people use third party batteries with good results but I have never seen a need to scrimp on batteries that I am putting in my bodies that I paid big bucks for.

It's not a good idea to say bad things about 3 rd party batteries around here..........

I agree with those who believe it is better to have the Nikon brand. I have heard of recalls on Nikon's brand, and it bothers me that some 3rd party knockoff could put a potentially damaging battery in my expensive camera. I would rather not take a chance on the 3rd party not issuing a recall although I believe all batteries are made in less than ideal condtions.

I bought my D7100 and decided to get the one with the 18-140 lens since it was only a little over a hundred dollars more for $1296. Body only was what you quoted. I could have bought a grey market Nikon D7100 for $749. I didn't like that it was a plastic body with no waterproofing for that price and no warranty.
