[QUOTE="WalkaboutSean, post: 127529, member: 13135"] I've been a happy D7000 owner for more than 2 years. When the D7100 was announced, I impulsively preordered -and now expect to receive my camera this week. It may sound counter-intuitive, but I ordered the new camera because I've been so pleased with my D7000. Two years is a long time in digital camera development. On the spec sheet, anyway, the D7100 eclipses the D7000 in almost every category. I'm also into wildlife/bird photography and the new crop mode & missing AA filter are appealing features to me. I've gone from a D40 to a D5000 to a D7000, and in each case have been pleased by the upgrade to the new generation of camera. Will the D7100 be worth it? Or have I fallen prey to marketing? Early reviews are favorable, but I will find out later this week. If I were you I wouldn't rush to dump my D7000. Let the early adopters like me take the arrows. ;) In a few months the dust will settle and there will be a consensus verdict on the new camera. [/QUOTE]
