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.
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.
