Hi I know the smarter feeling, my cat is smarter than me but she has trained me well. I think it will be a D7100, I am going to make the trip to the camera store and get a handle on the D7100 I am not going to spend that much without touching and lusting I will try to minimize the drooling in public  Ed Try not to take life too seriously, you won't make it out alive anyway!

Then to completely challenge your cat's rationale there is the small but slightly less complex D5300 with all the gizmos built in. It has the same sensor as the D7100 has more gizmos and a swiveling TFT screen but lacks a little on the build quality. I would test both if you are going to the store. The lesser D3300 is not really suitable but has the same sensor but has less controls and is designed to frustrate if you have used a more complex camera like your D200.

I see a chance for a story, back in the day I only owned 2 lenses a 50 f1.4 and a 43 to 86 zoom. My good friend and full-time shooting buddy was a Nikor lens junkie he would go hungry to buy another lens I think he owned everything made at the time and they were all available for me to use. can you say spoiled, I thought you could. Today i am limited by a small income but I do have several lenses, all except the 18 to 55 are FX and good quality, because I thought I wanted to someday go FX. Well after having Dx and using the crop factor to an advantage I find I like it I really like it I really really like it Addicted ? NOT ME did I tell you I like It?  I had looked at a D600 refurb but the difference in price would add another used lens I am handing off the D80 to SWMBO and the 18 to 55 will keep her happy for a while then she is going to want to sample my stash so the more the better LOL Sorry,rambling again  Ed

OH OH I thought I had made up my mind to buy a D7100, But we went to the C store today and I got a touchy feely with a D610 and it was lust at first heft. I felt bad about possibly spending so much and picked up the D7100 it is really nice. I told the wife it will do and she said no you are buying the other one, this time cost does not matter I want you to have the one you really want. Gotta love her    So as soon as the cash comes in I will be standing outside the store just before it opens saying OPEN OPEN OPEN Ed

I have a D610 and have used the D7100 quite a bit. The D610 is my favourite by a long shot.

Hi The FX format is a given, what I liked was the solid feel. It felt right in my hands, like that old pair of slippers the wife keeps trying to get rid of. That is why I wanted to fondle and drool on both. I like the D7000 and D7100 as well just not as much. One never knows one may follow me home in the future. (poor little thing, can I keep it honey, can I? PLEEZE) I will come back with my first impression as soon as I can, now that I am retired I can spend the time with it, it deserves Ed

Ed, re: touchy feely with a D610 What was wrong with you, maybe a hangover ? re: fx Earlier you stated that weight is an issue for you. Please consider that FX camera's and appropriate glass will always weigh more, even a D6n0/750. Regards, Gilbert

Hi Gilbert I know about FX glass because that is all I use, all my lenses are FX except 1 18 to 55 that snuck in on my D80 and that is where it will stay because the wife now owns the D80 and the interloper. I went out yesterday with the D200 and Tokina 100mm 2.8 macro, and made it through 175 shots of some cool flowers weight is not as much of an issue as I thought it might be. I haven't been out do to illness. All is better now and I am ready to go out an have some wicked good fun See I really was thinking ahead, thanks to Robert and a few others. Ed

Glad to hear that you are getting out and about more Ed. Photography is great medicine, better than any medication.
