[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 219906, member: 8705"] My wife bought a D7100 a couple of months ago as a replacement / upgrade to her D300. Primarily a more up to date sensor as the rest of D300 is pretty good. Whilst shooting some landscape shots on a tripod yesterday she asked me how to get the exposure meter up on the top LCD display like the D300 or my D800. My reading of the manual afterwards suggests it's not an option. Another thing I noticed when using auto ISO is the ISO value does not seem to display in the viewfinder when you half press the shutter release. I didn't play with this for long so I may have been doing something wrong. I find these types of emissions annoying and when my wife asks why Nikon would design it this way, should I be saying it's all about marketing and you've now dropped out of their "pro body" club with your flagship D7100 DX DSLR? I'm wondering if the D600 has the same bits missing as the D7100. I replaced mine with a D800 so I can't look myself. Anybody coming from a lower body or even a D7000 probably wouldn't notice these things, but in the absence of a D400 Nikon should have given a little more thought to the people who might be buying the D7100. This is not a knock the D7100 post as she likes some of the newer features of the D7100 that the 300 hasn't got and it does take great pictures. [/QUOTE]
