[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 417694, member: 24285"] I have neither a D300 or D7100 but did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on my D610. But I already had a crop framed D5100. It was a very tough call. I looked at other options including the D300 and D700 before concluding that the way to go was with current technology. Old, vintage, legacy glass is great but the technology in the body does change. The D7100 is a very good choice. Significant advances over the D300 came out in 2007, the D7100 in 2013, there were many improvements in the technology during this time in the world of digital imaging. See: [url=http://www.vistaview360.com/cameras/nikon_dslr_history.htm]Nikon DSLR Chronological History Dates | Post Comments[/url] for a pictoral history of Nikon cameras with brief descriptions. As for digital storage. That too has changed. the SD card is the one to use today, advances in storage technology are being applied to SD. Two SD cards are interchangeable and you can easily find them. I love having two SD's on my D610 - the redundancy is wonderful. You can get very fast SD cards which when plugged into a USB 3.0 connection to your PC will transfer hundreds of images quickly to your computer for post processing in your software of choice. Fast SD cards keep up with the fast FPS of the video and when you shoot quick series of photographs. [/QUOTE]
