Hello all, newbie to the forum here. I've had a D70 for years that has bitten the dust...it corrupts the SD card when it writes to it. Very depressing, but I HAVE been looking for an excuse to upgrade.
I'd like to keep it around $1,000 and preferably under. I had been debating between the D7000 and the D7100, but for some reason the Amazon price on the 7000 has gone form $485 to $550, so I'm leaning towards the 7100. It looks like the D7200 might drop at CP+ in a few weeks, so I'm thinking I'm going to hold off and see what happens there before I pull the trigger. If it comes out, I'm hoping that either it will be close enough to the $1,000 point that maybe I can splurge, or that it will at least drive down the price of the 7100.
Before doing that, I'm wanting to make sure I'm not missing any options. I'm not opposed to used, but it would have to be pretty significant savings over new....10 or 20% probably won't do it. My kids play a lot of sports I want to shoot, so something with a better frame rate than my old D70 is important to me....probably at least 6 fps. Other than that just overall quality and performance.
So...any other suggestions?
