Upgrade ?

I am planning on upgrading from the D90 to the D7100. Will be purchasing in 2 weeks.
I have read all the good things about it.
My question is, have any of you had any problems with it?

I don't have one, but have been reading all I can about the D7100 on several forums. So far the consensus is the D7100 is a fine camera.

+1. I don't think you can go wrong with the D7100. In my hometown they are flying off the shelves and it is experienced enthusiasts buying them.

Good to hear. Just nervous of a NEW camera I guess.
How are your lenses holding up to the added sharpness?

If you are using Nikon lenses, I just can't see how you would have a problem. Other manufacturers may be another matter.

Any dust, or lubrication issues?

When the D7000 came out, I was in the market for a new DX camera, but after looking at the specs decided on something else. When the D7100 came out I thought there was a real improvement in the D7000 series and purchased one. I can say I am very pleased with the results. No problems so far and the color produced in the pictures is outstanding. Would certainly recommend one to my friends.

Thank you Mark

I too have a d7100 and I am loving it. I get some very nice photos (to bad the guy holding the camera sux ) I have not had any issues as of yet and I have taken around 600 photos so far.

I upgraded from a D90 to a D7100. Love it.

Huge improvement.

Any screen protector suggestions?

Couldn't wait 2 weeks. Just purchased one.
Wish the batteries came pre charged.

Congratulations!

Loving mine. I think Nikon hit a home run with this camera.

Congrats.

Now change your gear in your profile.

Upgrade? Again? I'm old enough to remember when you bought a 'camera', a box to which you fitted a lens and into which you placed 'film'. Colour, mono, fast-film, slow-film etc. Your camera would last for years, only the media needed changing. Now in the 'digital age' Nikon, and indeed all the camera manufacturers, have to come-up with something new annually to keep production rolling. So next year expect a D7200 or maybe a D8100 with a 36Mb sensor so all you D7100 owners believe that you now own a dinosaur, and can't take a decent photograph without buying the new one. It's called 'Marketing', and you are the 'Consumer'.

I was shooting in those days too. In fact I still shoot some film.
And yes, after almost 5 years. I was ready to upgrade the D90.
The 7100 has some serious upgraded capabilities.
I will be really happy. If this body is anywhere near the workhorse. My D90 has been.

Yes, I still have my OM1 and still love the sound of the shutter, but I fear that soon film stock will become unobtainable.

I have the D7000 and plan to use it to it's death [sic], but upgrading a D90 to D7100 is in a sensible evolution time-scale, and I expect you will be well pleased with one.

Well, after a very long day of shooting. I absolutely love this camera.

Very capable day and night. Quite an impressive piece of equipment.

Picked up a Tokina 12-24 F4 Craigslist score. At a great price this morning. Wide angle was my missing link.

Glad I waited for the 7100. And the 90 will make a good backup.
