[QUOTE="hark, post: 238274, member: 13196"] I'm with Scott, too, if you think the D610 is for you. There are going to be trade-offs. Have you looked through the viewfinder of a D610? If you prefer the higher number of focus points, please know that the focus points are more closely clustered to the center on a D610--if your D7100 is similar to my D90, the focus points are spread out more across the viewfinder. So in addition to there being fewer focus points, they aren't as spread out. And the resolution of the D610 is 24mp. When you crop a photo, you are lowering your resolution. If you take a comparable shot on a D610 in DX crop mode or crop a photo to make it comparable to the same shot on the D7100, your resolution will be higher on the D7100. Please understand I have no qualms with my D610. I upgraded from a D90 so for me it was step up--plus I spent years using 35mm and prefer the full view. Like Lee532 said, you might want to look at a D800e.... Only you can decide which features are most important, but if you do go with a D610, you might want to hold onto the D7100. [/QUOTE]
