[QUOTE="sonicbuffalo_RIP, post: 377940, member: 21543"] @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-6429-steve.html"]Steve[/URL]L54 - All I can promise you is if you buy the D7100, you will not be disappointed. I also think you will revitalize your creative juices by buying it. I say this because the stimulation that learning to use the D7100 will give you will motivate you to exceed what your previous plateau was in photography. I think that is why a lot of photographers buy new camera bodies. They feed off of the energy that a new piece of equipment gives them. It will also enhance your knowledge of the art of photography. I would, however, make up my mind if I was you (since I have traveled the same road and made mistakes) as to whether to go full frame, or DX. The FF lenses are rather large and bulky compared to DX for the most part. You might also want to consider an upgrade going the mirrorless route. They are getting more and more sophisticated. Do your homework, and you won't be disappointed. I had a D7100 and sold it to go mirrorless. I am of the mindset that DSLR's days are numbered. I don't think incoming photographers really want to lug the heavy gear any more. The trend is going to be mirrorless. They're smaller, and produce just as good images as a bulky DSLR. I mean why have more moving parts when you don't need them? They break easier, as there are more parts, and they're heavier, and bulkier. You have a big choice. I wanted a cropped DSLR for wildlife and to shoot macro. I will have to build my lens collection again, but I promise you I won't go back to FX lenses for a DSLR camera. They are rapidly becoming outdated, unless you are a pro or aspiring pro. Good luck. Let us know what you decide. [/QUOTE]
