Worse on what....buffer or focus speed? Doesnt sound promising. Don't understand how Nikon can bring out bodies with supposedly the same focus module but get different performance from them???

worse on buffer eric ,by quite a bit from what i have seen on you tube ,7 shots in one second then sounds like one a second till full ,certainly a massive let down ,and as i said "quote" my contact said the focus was a bit jittery ,but early days as he was shooting jpeg .. this btw is a guy thats had the d7000 from day one ,has a 300mm f2.8 with it and knows what he's doing :baffled:

Seems like the D7100 would be a great D300 replacement but the buffer item would be a restriction for me. I would need to consider this carefully before a purchase. Maybe I need to wait until end of April and see what happens in the interim on the D400 front.

I too sit on the fence but I do miss my D300 with the 18-200 lens. It looks more and more that we may never get to see a D400, and if we did it could get far too much res for a DX, for me 18MP would be plenty.

I agree that the MP count sweet spot for me is 16MP. The D800 is a little bit too detailed for most occasions. The current crop of cameras from Nikon seem to be coming out with 24MP which is the top end of my range but it makes the image look a bit smoother when you compare D3S, D600, D800 outputs. The D800 is much more finicky to use in low light conditions and the D3S is what I am used to but seems a little too grainy when compared to the D800. Maybe a D600 beckons if the D400 doesnt arrive but I really want a DX sized camera. The D7100 is the right size for travel photography with a 70-300 AFS on it. For the wide stuff I use my XPro1 with (when it comes) 10-24mm or 18-55mm zooms.

jk wrote:I agree that the MP count sweet spot for me is 16MP. There are a couple of points here. I would agree with you that for a longtime 16mp was as far as ANY sensor should go. But I do wonder if with the bar being raised at the top end, this might drag the sweetspot a bit higher? The image quality of the D7000 is very good...it's the responsiveness that lets it down in some situations. The news of the D7100 lacklustre performance is concerning and does make me wonder if Nikon are rooting the performance of these bodies squarely below that of a pro DX. That being the case, I am sure a D400 WILL come along sometime soon. Had the D7100 really outperformed the D7000 I would have been less convinced another DX body was coming anytime soon.

I would definitely agree with that rationale. It seems to me that the D7000/D7100 and fine cameras but are not workhorse or stellar performers that we have come to expect from Nikon professional cameras so Yes I do expect a D400 to come sometime soon.

just had another update from my friend who has the d7100 ,saying when it nails the shot its amazing ,BUT he is not getting as many keepers as he was with the d7000 ,starting to wonder if its him or the autofocus . as i said before this is a guy who knows the model range well and who's pictures first swayed me to the d7000

Jeff, I think there is a danger in seeing the work of others who have a rapport with a particular camera or subject and translating THAT into 'what a great camera'. There is a website somewhere created by a photographer of D200 images. They are wonderful images, truly great, but it was the user who created those great images not the camera. Even I will admit that the D200 has been improved on (slightly) in the years since it was released. For my needs the D200 does all I NEED. The only improvement I am seeking is full frame, I have always felt that DX was a temporary expedient until the sensor technology developed FX at an affordable price. If I do replace the D200 I will be looking to go with FX so that I can use my lenses as they were designed to be used, rather than only using the centre of the image circle.

and then finding out that the lenses don't perform as well as you thought they did rob,i remember the canon 400mmL f5.6 a super lens in dx mode shoot with it all day long wide open and sharp every time ,but put it on a fx camera and its mundane at best :baffled:
