[QUOTE="Rusty Jones, post: 232787, member: 18581"] OK, I can narow it down a little. This is going to be a 'family' camera. The Misses mentioned how she liked the Canon DSLR her friend has and my ears perked up! I have been shooting on and off for 15+/- years, mostly film nothing serious, just hobby stuff. The Misses is a point and shoot user, and probably not much more, unless this sparks an intrest in her. So it has be be capable of full manual as well as full Program. Subjects are family and kid activities. I'll probably use it more for stuff to hang on the wall, she will use it for stuff to put into family photo album. Budget is about $1,100 US +/- (body) Unfortunately due to the budget, FX sensors are out :( Needs built in flash would be nice to share lenses with my other Nikons (see below) video would be nice, HD 1080p built in mics, mic jack live video out??? maybe Raw flies date/time stamp mirror lockup DOF preview stuff like that. Stuff i have Nikon FG + MD 50mm 1.8? (not the expensive on, but the standard one) Sigma 80-210 zoom SB-100 flash Nikon N/F 80 x2 50mm AF Nikon 85-?? cheap kit zoom lens It's not a lot, but it's what I have at the moment. A quick look and the D7100 looks nice, any opinions? [/QUOTE]
