[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 485418, member: 16844"] Reading this post I don't think anyone can really help you as you know a lot more about the technical details of the various models. From my experience technical details are fine but not the be-all-and-end-all of everything as the art of photography is in the shooter. I didn't look at your flickr account so with apologies ask: "can you shoot?" If so then the body won't matter to a large extent. What will matter is the glass you put on and your ability to change settings on the fly. To me the D7100 wins hands down. You say the focus moto built into the body does not matter and that may be so but there are a lot of quality lenses that can be used with auto-focus on the D7100 that cannot be used on other bodies. I made the switch from D5100 to D7100 for being able to change settings on the fly - without taking my eye off the viewfinder. And I have very, very small hands - never met a male with smaller hands - the D7100 is perfect for me although I would never add a grip to it. Now I am going to look at your flickr page. :) [/QUOTE]
