any opinions on this?
Others will probably disagree but I'll give you my opinion.
For sports, I don't think that either 800 or 7100 will be great. 7100 for low buffer and 800 for the size of files you'll have to store and treat.
If you want to have quality and not spend all your money on bodies that will depreciate the minute you walk out of the photo store, why not get pre-owned D300 and/or D700. These are very capable cameras that can produce fantastic images.
Don't fool yourself, STM. There's a whole lot more to the D800 than just megapixels.
Yes, I agree. But my post was more to the mistaken notion that the D800 is firstly a 36 mp camera. It's unfortunate that such high resolution seems to be the headliner for this camera when in fact it's the dynamic range and IQ that makes this camera special. And at no point was I trying to insinuate that only expensive cameras produce nice images.
But does not the D800 get it's IQ and DR from it's 36mp?.

Seems to me that unless you want to use primes you wont get full use from the D800...
