[QUOTE="§am, post: 107985, member: 9187"] As a D5100 user the new D7xxx (or maybe even a D8xxx?) will be of interest as an upgrade path, but would depend entirely on price, features and of course "need". As it stands the D5100 does me proud for my level of photography, but I can see in the next 2-3 years shifting to a D7000 type (primarily for the built in motor). FX does not interest me at all, but FX lenses on a DX body do :) As for the possible D7200 name? Well, current lower models are D3200 & D5200, so introducing a D7100 could give the impression that Nikons D7xxx range is still behind the times. However, call it a D7200, and bam, the line up goes D3200, D5200, D7200 :) [/QUOTE]
