Is it worth getting the d7100 or wait for the d7200?

<p>Alright cats, I'm getting my d7100 today! Thanks for all the input<br>

Ian- I'm going to try that out and see if it works! If it does, I may gift the camera to my sister [she's taking up photography and a DSLR would be good for her to practice]</p>

<p>That's a good choice. It's still one of the best deals out there, and it is a great little camera when one doesn't want to fool with full-frame bulkiness.<br>

There are days, though, when I deliberately use my <a href="/photo/18250720&size=lg"><em><strong>full-frame lenses</strong> </em></a>on it. It does very, very well.<br>

<p>I agree with Lannie 100%.</p>

 

<p>Just received my D7100 from Adorama...refurbished $589.00 with Wifi wireless adapter....shutter count 315...looks brand new!</p>

<p>Good choice to purchase a D7100. Excellent body. Great low light quality. Large image size allows for cropping without losing clarity. </p>

<p>My progression has been D70 (great camera within limits) D80 (easy to use, but mine had a slight red shift that I had to edit out in PS), D90 (just felt "right" to me and images were outstanding), D7000 (felt like I was fighting the camera to get a good image; much higher % of so so images with this body), D7100 (all of the good features of the D90, with much better image quality and low light ability). Unless something super good and super cheap comes along, I don't see myself upgrading until the body wears out.<br>

I took some indoor pics over the weekend using the 7100. ISO1600 and ISO800, no flash, using a basic 18-140 lens. Very nice indeed. Quality would have been marginal using a D90, and no usable using the D80. D7000 would have been hit or miss.</p>

<p>You will love the 7100.</p>

<p>I wonder why that is, Ross. I never had a single problem with the D7000.</p>
