[QUOTE="Grumpa, post: 218154, member: 17855"] I'm anxously awaiting the arrival of a recently ordered D7100 and AF-S VR Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED lens. I've been a passionate lover of nature as long as I can remember and a year and a half ago I bought a P510 and started taking pictures of everything I saw in my wanderings. It's an awesome little point and shoot camera but it didn't take me to long to realize I needed to upgrade my equipment. I held off until now because of the cost of high end cameras and lenses. But a few days ago I had a golden opportunity to photograph a Bobcat and although I was able to at least record the event with my 510, the lackluster pics pushed me into finally buying something that hopefully will give me the kind of pics I'm really wanting. If I'm ever lucky enough to happen onto another Bobcat I want to be ready! Have learned a lot with the 510 but have tons more to learn and this looks like a great place to get some advice from those much more knowledgeable than myself. I photograph everything from insects to whitetailed deer but my passion is birds and particularly birds of prey. Happy to be here! Looking forward to talking with all of you. [/QUOTE]
