[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 160149, member: 10784"] Ok, now that I have had a few days to play with it, what do I think??? I am totally pleased... Sunday - Tuesday I worked only with the 7100 and after 3 days, very comfortable with 85% of the controls. I now find it easier and faster than my 5100. I am liking the ease of changing settings and the multitude of things you can control along with the info available. Shooting speed is fast, clarity of viewfinder is a real blessing. No intention to disparage my 5100, but I had removed the grip. Last night I did a couple tests for focus items and used both cameras. The 5100 seemed like a toy after the 7100. (Note: It is NOT, still an excellent camera... just such a difference when shooting with both together) Its funny, I have been using the top LCD for info and adjustments and when I picked up the 5100 last night, I found myself looking for that window!!! :) I just got a battery grip too. It does add some weight (its the Nikon one) but the grip ability to hold the camera from near any position or angle is really nice. (Thats my opinion only, I like the stable handling feel with a grip) Anyway... Happy as can be with the D7100, no regrets on getting it at all.. It has great IQ capability but it is still up to the nut behind it to see, compose and capture the image!!! :) Have fun shooting - I am! Pat in NH [/QUOTE]
