Wish I had one to take with me on my travels but I guess I will have to wait a while to get my hands on one to test.

I had a chance yesterday as I passed through Gatwick to have a play with the D7100 and D600.
Both very nice cameras.
The D600 is very nice but lacks some of the features of the D800 but for me with the 24MP sensor is a better everyday camera.
The D7100 is similar sized to the D600 but is a DX camera. This is what I was I need/want as a D300 replacement.

The D7100 might be a possibility but I really do want the D400 which opens up the 10 pin accessories set that I have.

if a d400 has them if/when it ever comes out ,one of my good flickr contacts has just bought a 7100 so i should get unbiased reports from him ,he had a 7000 previously

I agree JK I find the D800 with the large lenses a bit much to carry round on holiday. I am quite by tempted by a D7000 now going in UK at very good low prices!

PS a late Happy Easter to all! I have been busy filming on the Bluebell Steam Railway just opened into East Grinstead.

Not convinced with the D7000 responsiveness...seems sluggish to focus compared to D300. Was hoping the D7100 would inherit some D800 performance benefits.

I will be delaying any purchase decision till mid Summer....after Ive had a chance to use the Fuji XE1 and D7000 alongside each other on Spring holiday.

I know they are lighter, but every time I hold my D200 IR (which I also take with me) it somehow feels better in the hand.

I am concerned that in the hunt for less weight we might lose some of the 'given' balance and feel of the DX00 bodies. Spending ANY time thinking about, and compensating for, a camera's differences... is a potential distraction.

We shall see.

having both the d7000 and d300s ,i always reach for the 300s first ,however if the light is bad or i,m doing late evening owls for instance the d7000 compensates by having a decent performance up to a recoverable iso 3200 ..but suffers by slower focussing and tiny buffer ,the d7100 by all accounts is even worse ,probably because of it having to do more work in processing .

one of my contacts has the 7100 and the only update from him so far is the crop mode is good news for birders ,but the focussing is jittery
