[QUOTE="stmv, post: 139036, member: 10038"] wow,, this topic sure its the response buttons. For me,, I want a certain level of control, and specifically front and rear control dials to easily control aperature and speed, You can do the same with the 5100, but having to hit the little button to switch back and forth is a pain when you are a hurry. I own 800, 7000, 700, and 5100, so have experience on all of them . I documented recently in my Blog, I am shooting a wedding next week in a location that I cannot trust. so,, I am not bringing my 800 but my 7000. between the 700 and 7000,, kinda a tough call, 700 is slightly better in low light, but image detail is higher on the 7000, and honestly, I like the lower weight of the 7000 for all day. Am I bummed not to have the D800, a bit,, but more for the loss of the other photography I was planning, I just love the D800. For the wedding, totally fine with the 7000.

Finnally,, Yes, it is also the image,, Like I mentioned in another one of my Blogs,, walk around with the D800, and people just assume you are the Pro,, walk around with the 5100,, and you won't be noticed. People are image conscious, and prefer if they have a "PRO" taking their shots, and you showing up with a 5100 and plastic lens,, well might as well hired their brother. [/QUOTE]
