[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 53691, member: 9237"] No, I actually prefer used honestly. It's cheaper :) They may have a used one, and I'd be fine with a camera with less than 10000 shutter actuations honestly. Mine currently has 8000 so that's in the ball park. I'm not sure what Joe is referring to.. Adorama is a reputable enough site. Mr. Rockwell uses them so they can't be all that bad. I like the viewfinder (i wear glasses and it just looks better to me), easy access programmable buttons (whereas the 5100 only has one or two), ergonomics in general (a bit larger of a feel) of the 7000 better. I simply feel I've outgrown the 5100 and don't need the toys that it comes with such as all the modes and everything. I need to take pictures and I change settings a lot. Fiddling through that menu on the 5100 really kills me. Should have gotten it to start with so I can grow with it, but alas, money was short at the time. So there are my main reasons. I want to minimize the cost as much as possible hence why I want to trade up instead of keep the 5100 as a backup at this point. Money is tight but not so tight that I can't splurge a few hundred on a new body that i KNOW I will like. The 5100 was a crapshoot in the camera store since I didn't really know what I wanted and the salesman thought HE did.. :/ [/QUOTE]
