[QUOTE="stmv, post: 121952, member: 10038"] I read several of these "hands on reviews" and they have all the same detail without really taking pictures. Here is an example conclusion from a site: [I][B]Value For Money[/B] - The Nikon D7100 is introduced with an RRP of £1099, which is the same introduction RRP price of the D7000 when it was announced in 2010, or alternatively £1299 with the Nikkor 18-105mm VR lens. We will be conducting our full review of the D7100 as soon as the camera is available. Nikon has published a number of sample photos on the [URL="http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d7100/sample.htm"]Nikon website[/URL]. [/I]So, Nikon seems to allow these sites to publish all the cool features, but really really detail deep dives into the images, no. I seem to remember for the d80->D700 this was not the case, but starting with the D800 or somewhere, Nikon marketing has shifted to that mode. I am sure it is a awesome camera, just like the D800 was awesome, but ..... we will have to wait until post release to get the scoop on just how much better is it than the D7000 or even the current consumer top model of the D600.
