[QUOTE="emoxley, post: 70199, member: 8006"] I'm glad you like the light weight of the d7k. I didn't. It felt too much like a toy to me. It was too small for my big hands too. So, I bought the Nikon battery grip for mine. It added bulk, which made it feel much, much better to me. It added some weight too. Now it doesn't feel like a toy anymore. Now it also balances out things when I have my 70-300mm lens on the camera, which is most of the time. I'm loving the grip on mine........... I can see how the variable position screen would work where your body doesn't fit. I hadn't thought of that, but how often does that happen? Just using Live View with a fixed screen would probably work too, in most cases. Maybe others know some more good reasons for the variable screen? :) [/QUOTE]
