Ah, but I have selected the very best old Nikkors, Canon lenses are not part of my plan!!!  Most of my lenses are fast film non zoom lenses chosen carefully with FX in mind. This has been my strategy since I bought my D1 in 2005. I hope to get a low resolution D3 or D700 when they come down to my price level. (May be some years yet!) They shouldn't be too searching on the flaws in my modest lens collection.

Well it seems that there are a whole heap of us waiting for a 24MP (as that is what all Nikons seem to be these days) DX format camera that is an improvement on the D300S. Until then I will continue with my D300 and the FX cameras I have. I was reading on ByThom who seemed to think that April/May will be the release date for the D400. If not then I continue the wait.

In some ways that doesnt surprise me. All things being equal its a known fact that when you increase the pixel density it requires an improvement in technique to maximise that detail. For me the D1X 6mp to D2X 12mp change resulted in a lot less keepers. Changing to the D3 12mp re-established the previous keeper rate...and some! I feel there there is always a relearning curve that we need to follow when increasing pixels. For me the D7000 is acceptable or rather I have probably learnt to use its higher pixel density. But its the responsiveness that is a step down from the pro bodies that concerns me.

like most of us i have heard of noise issues with the d7100 ,but my lad went into chester today armed with a film card and took a load of test shots with one as we know the manager of the shop well ,we have both had a play with the RAW files tonight ,and i have to admit whoever made those comments must have been working for canon . heres one of the shots taken across the parades in chester the doorway section is heavily in the shade, yes at 6400 iso there is plenty of noise in the raw file but once noise reduction applied etc and converted to a jpeg , i would be happy to use this .got my brain ticking over now how to afford one .

So... am I right in thinking the performance reservations your friend had, have changed? I got the impression he thought the D7100 was little better than the D7000?

i won't be jumping in yet eric ,its my lad who is thinking about one .i have also e/mailed my friend for updates .my d7000 is not my camera of choice these days so it will be have to be a big improvement to make me change anyway .the main thing that will hold me back is the fact that apeture haven't yet made available a RAW decoder update for the 7100 .it can be done in cs6 but thats to complicated for my liking ,although i have it i don't use it often. you have to separate desire thinking as opposed to how much pension thinking these days :-O:-O
