I suppose it varies by your personal hand size, but I have noticed that personally I really like the size of the current D7000/7100 cameras. I remember comparing my Olympus line to my Nikon line back in film days, and I found the Olympus line to be a bit too small in form factor, and point and shoots are great for sliding in the pocket, but even less comfortable for shooting, While the D800 is ok,, but I find bulky,,, and well the D2/D3,, etc,, way way too bulky, for outdoor use lugging around..and then their is price..I am becoming the opinion that the 7100 is really an ideal camera,  image quality it stack up with the 600,  has the features of a higher end camera including compatibility to the full lens offerings, and then it has that really nice form factor,, so much like the F3. for 1100 dollars,, its a fantastic camera. I have been thinking of ebaying my 7000 and buying a 7100, between the 24 Meg, and the lack of AntiAlias filter, its just a surperb camera.but,, naw,, 7000 is good enough,, and for pixel mania,, have the 800. but for those that are thinking,,, of upgrading from say a D90, D300, D3000 family or D5000 family,, or anyone thinking of needing a backup camera.. Then for 1100 dollar range.. I think the 7100 is the buy.</blockquote>
