Hi there I know it has been a long time since I have darkened this doorway, but I am back and ready to go shooting. I had an issue with my iMac and had to reformat the hdd it's ok I have a backup this time LOL The Apple folks were super and helped me get it straightened out and all at no charge WOOOO HOOO ! I am having wicked good fun shooting flowers and back to low light still doing the aircraft too Been thinking about updating to a newer camera, no problem with the D200 or D80 but something newer is always good and she who must be obeyed has given consent to a purchase I like the D7000, but wonder if the higher megapixel D7100 would really be worth the extra clams. Pixel count has never been a buying point for me. Other features are what attract my limited dollar smaller size is a good thing too with my bad shoulders Both cameras do well in the reviews and I can still find new D7000s on line the price is only a couple hun different sooooooo? thanks in advance Take care and be well Time is precious, Waste it wisely!! :thumbsup: Ed

The D7100 is definitely top of the tree at present but I think there may be a refresh (D7200) or D400 released in Feb 2015. The D7100 is a step up. I use a Fuji XT1 and I do notice that its 16MP is a little wanting if you need to make a big crop. However if you get you image composition correct then 16MP is enough the 24MP just gove you extra comfort. The D7000/7100 will handle much the same so it is only a question of the extra pixels and the improved in camera noise reduction that you get in the D7100. If I was purchasing I would go for the D7100 as it is the better camera.

Ed, If you do not care about pixelcount (as sensible poeple do) you may want to consider buying a second-hand D7000 from a trusted source. Regards, Gilbert

I have a D7000. It's a nice camera but I feel it has two weakISH points. At high ISO under incandescent lighting it has a tendency to show coloured artefacts particularly in the shadow areas. if you only shoot in low natural light it's not an issue. It's not as fast at focusing as a Dx or Dxxx model. If you are shooting action it may not grab the shots as well as a (say) D300 ...or maybe even your D200? That said I don't believe the D7100 is any better in these areas...so I didn't bother to upgrade. Certainly worth looking at a D7000... in place of your D80. But you might hang onto the D200 until you are happy the D7000 would be an adequate replacement. The D7000 is lighter than a D200 but remember that good glass is preferable on any camera...and good glass frequently contributes nearly as much to the shoulder weight as the body. So the nett saving may not be that significant.

Hi Eric Thanks for the insight, I don't do sports or any thing super fast, I am old and feeble things need to be slow. At least thats my story for now. The d200 is a keeper no matter what other body i acquire. I had my mind set on a d300s but I really like the new small size bodies. I would be first in line for a digital F2s just a camera no wifi no gps no video, just a darn great camera like the original. but we are forced to take all that gobbledegook to get the options we want SORRY I will get off the sudsy box The D7000 would save a few bucks ooooooo more good glass hummmm! I will do some more research I have lots of time to look so maybe a trip to the store for a touchy feelie the only problem with that is I will getr a case of the terminal Igottahaveitnows . Take care and be well Ed

Ed, re: all that gobbledegook I agree, and I may go and stroke one of my F2's today, grin. re: glass You are right, if you want to get the most out of one of those zillion pixel camera's, you need to work (and purchase) at that. Nikon did release a PDF with D-800 and lens tips when that camera came to market. Regards, Gilbert PS If you run into a nice used D300, you may want to consider that, ther ergonomics are more in line with the D200.

I have a D300 and enjoy it as it has all the features of a professional camera. The D300S brings LiveView and video. The LiveView is good for macro and imho the video is no darned use at all. If you want to do video then get a video camera or maybe one of the latest Nikons like the D750 but I am sure that Graham Whistler can give better advice on this than me. Thank goodness I have settled my needs for my Nikons except for a D300 update. Will Nikon ever release that D400?

Hi Gilbert I know about the D300S and it was my choise until MR Auther Itis attacked my hands and shoulders, now weight is the factor, and I want the increased performance of the newer cameras. Ericv suggested the D7000 and it is great but the D7100 is selling for only $100.00 more, and I am still on two feet but leaning that way. This one time a few dollars will not stand in the way I have only been able to get away from priorities a couple of times and do some serious shooting this must stop and photos must come first, the yard can wait. Thanks for the comments Ed

In your case I think it is better to get the D7100 for the extra $100.

Makes me wish I'd waited instead of buying the D 7000. Problem is, the camera's smarter than I am.
