[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 513654, member: 7240"] Did I somehow touch a nerve? Sorry about that. The OP is in the market for a $150 lens, so I didn't think a new camera costing almost ten times as much would be the answer he was seeking. I used the word [B]current[/B] in the section you bolded. It was supposed to mean something that is still in production and available as new. Yes I know, some distributors, like Nikon USA, might still have 5-10 years old discontinued cameras filling their shelves and collecting dust, but those will never be sold no matter how long the cameras hang in their price list. My view about the D7100 is not quite as rosy. The small raw buffer is a show stopper and the banding noise in shadows is probably the worst in recent Nikon cameras. In my books both D7000 and D7200 are much better options (buffer, image quality), but D7000 has been discontinued years ago. Ergo: D7200 it is. :cool: [/QUOTE]
