[QUOTE="hark, post: 121955, member: 13196"] BackdoorHippie, as far as the sub command dial, I've tried 3 new d7000's all from different dealers, and all have the same problem with the sub command dial being too easy. I took one of my D90's into the store to A/B against both a used and new D7000, and even the salesperson was surprised at the difference. My back-up D90 has a very low shutter count (@100) so its sub command dial has barely been used. Both of my D90's have the same amount of resistance on the sub command dial...a little resistance without being too hard to move. The D7000's that I tried have all been so easy that the slightly bump alters them. Lastly, I called Nikon's customer support, and they said the sub command dial on the D7100 is the same as the D7000. I used to do a lot of 35mm work so it's been an adjustment dealing with the crop factor of the DX. Portraits are my main source (individuals and families) but I also do some volunteer work most of which involves low light and a telephoto lens. For my own enjoyment, I like landscapes and wildlife. The shutter sync speed is also a factor. On the D600, the sync speed is 1/200 while the sync speed of the D7100 is 1/250. Image size is also a consideration especially for enlargements. I do want to upgrade to more pixels so the D300s really isn't a contender. It's only been recently (past year) that I've gotten back into photography as I made a career change (medical reasons). The weight of the camera is a factor due to weakness in my arms, but the D600 is still under consideration. I use a tripod whenever possible (and I don't do weddings although I get asked). So still hoping to hear some feedback and constructive criticism about pros/cons of either. Thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
