I using d3100 now but want to have more focus point and faster auto focus (since I like to shot on random people and sport etc)
Should I get a second hand d7000 or just wait for new d7100 come out?
When d7100 come out will d7000 price drop?

This is will be my first camera upgrade, and plan to get a prime lense for portrait shot after that

Random shot with d3100 70-300mm

Lucky shot

Tokyo disneysea

Rumor said release before April 2013?

Those uniform only exist in japan

D7100 really worth the price? People commented a bit overprice for DX

I plan to upgrade my d3100, Not sure go d7100 or direct FX (FX need new set of lens...)
Hate my d3100, hardly track and focus flying bird

Not cosplay event, just promoter in akihabara

I use 1/30 since they not moving very fast, But from the picture clearer show my hand shake up down
Best using monopod for this kind of shot?

I only have 70-300mm f/3.5-f/5.6 for mid long range shot, this lense is my favorite
Night shot fastest lense I have is 50mm f1.8, to cover weakness of first lense
And 18-55mm just as backup, in case both upper lense don't fit situation
My lense should be complete for dx now

So you like shot on cosplay? Then if you got chance most go to komiket, a lot cute girl waiting for you there

Nice shot, so sharp, no crop out?
Shutter speed?

I think maybe pan + burst shot give better chance

Mine explain reason why using f16?
So high f for sharp background? But it was blur anyway

I pre ordered d7100 now, but should I just wait a while (maybe few weeks) for the d7100 price drop?

Usually how fast can a new dslr price drop? And how much/%?
Share from your experience thanks

Next summer comiket August, cool weather probably better than smelly humid with lots of otaku

I saw many people said build up good lense first before you jump FX, actually how does it works?
You buy all good prime DX lense and later move to FX body, still the DX lenses need to be upgrade right? Or does it means using FX body with the existing DX lense, and slowly convert DX lens to FX lens

Now I considering D600, but I don have much good lense now, so I should stick back D7000?

Now using d3100
My lense:
AFS Nikkor 70-300 4.5 5.6 G (my favorite lense, I like far shot)
AFS Nikkor 50mm 1.8 G (for fast, night, or good bokeh)
AFS Nikkor 18-55mm 3.5 5.6 G (anything else)

Thanks, so FX lense will work perfectly for DX body? Only concern for FX lens is price...?

Better stick back d7000 and practice more

Ya, abusing Nikon vivid, Got good contrast but always the face will be too red

Just got myself new d7000 (old if compare d7100...)

Do we still need to buy extra screen protector? Since already go the default hard LCD protector from d7000

I see, thanks skip the protector then

Request custom setting for d7000 U1 U2
Where got sharing of the setting I can refer?

One for sport, another for portrait! Thanks a lot
A lot setting to play
