I thought I’d chime in here with my final thoughts on this superb DX camera. I’ve owned the D7100 for over a year, used it to shoot all sorts of things. Mostly landscape, but a lot of portraiture, and interior shots too (even dabbled in a bit of wedding photography), and it’s handled them all very well indeed. The lenses I’ve used are as follows (all Nikon): 70-200mm, 10-24mm (my favourite), 50mm, 24-70, and the kit lens (18-105). The only criticism I have of the D7100 is the noise levels at relatively low ISO. But I understand that this is simply because it’s a DX camera, and there’s only so much that you can achieve with that sensor.  Overall image quality, detail and functionality of the camera is without fault. A truly fantastic DX DSLR. Why the change? Well my love of photography has increased enormously over the past year, and I feel now is the right time to take a leap forward with my equipment and enter the realm of FX. This is mostly because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the D810. Now seems like the perfect time to jump ship. But it’s not jumping ship for the sake of it, as I’ve recently began taking photography far more seriously and hope to even make some money out of it. So the optimum quality and versatility of the D810 will give me a boost in confidence to push myself further. If I were to grade the D7100 out of 10 I’d give it 8/10. Easy to use, superb quality, not great for low-light photography, but in all other areas it’s very good indeed.</blockquote>
