[QUOTE="SteveL54, post: 377766, member: 17080"] Looking for some input. I've been shooting with my D5100 with a SB700 for a little over 1 1/2 years now, and I'm comfortable with it. It it approaching 16,000 clicks. I've been kicking around the idea of upgrading to a D7100. I don't do portraits, people, weddings, etc. Mostly inanimate objects and landscapes.
