[QUOTE="ryanp, post: 157385, member: 11949"] thanks all, I really do love the 16-85 but I must admit, there have been occasions that I really wanted/needed a constant aperture, something like the Tamron 28-75 2.8; having the D3200 I'm struggling to find one of these as the camera has no built in focus motor. I know Tamron did bring out a lens with the motor built in but they are harder to find and more expensive. The focus motor is another big reason for me wanting to switch from the D3200, it would open up a world of lenses for me. If I went for the D7000 I may even then have money over to buy something a little wider as 28 on a crop sensor isn't perfect for walkaround photography. If I pushed myself to the D7100 I'd just keep the lenses I have now and probably be very happy also. I just don't know if pushing to the D7100 is worth it if the D7000 can do the same job. I know specs don't mean everything but the D7100 does come out on top in every review. From what I've read too, ISO performance on the D7100 is great where as there may not be much difference between the D3200 and the D7000; don't know how true that is? [/QUOTE]
