[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 344148, member: 24285"] Welcome Sounds like you've done your homework. The D7100 is definitely one of the best "Bang for the Buck" err Pound, on the block. I recently was in that market and went back and forth between the D7100 and the D610. My FX bug got me and I went for the D610. But at almost double the price. I love my D610, not sure it is double the camera of the D7100 though. And FX lenses tend to cost more. I've taken to buying old lenses for now as my budget it toast after that purchase. I do also have a D5100. Your list of lenses for the D7100 will serve you very well. I really like my 35mm prime. Great price for a fabulous lens. I hardily recommend that one. The D7100 can also use old lenses bought from on-line vendors or eBay. (See recent discussion on buyer beware on eBay - but it can save you a bundle). Being a crop frame it gets you extra reach from old FX lenses. I'd recommend you explore the used lens marked - can get some great buys there if you are careful. And yes, I too was eyeing the potential for a big announcement in the fall regarding the next rendition of the 7000 series. May be worth the wait. Either get the latest and greatest if the upgrades are worth it to you - OR take the deal behind the other door and save a bundle on clearance prices on a D7100. I see D7000 now being cleared out by a major vendor in Canada for $600 or something like that. (The upgrade from 7000 to 7100 is a no-brainer, just too much more camera in the D7100).
