I nearly jumped ship couple of days ago  tongue.gif  Felt dslr bit bulky and thought of getting mirrorless camera instead (was considering Fujifilm or Sony). But to start fresh with a new system will cost me more so I decided to stay with Nikon. Will be saving for D7100.

no one said u cannot own 2 ships tongue.gif
i also got a mirrorless m43 panasonic setup...but still keeping my nikons.

Because the Nikkor lens I own at the moment are all FX lens, which means HUGE compared to the Fuji 23mm f/1.4 (big among Fuji lens). Well, I'm still using Nikon for my DSLR, just no longer for travel hehe. Nowadays go out with friends if bring camera way less strain on my neck and shoulders.
Yes! Expensive >_<
Nope, I own 35 and 85 among the f/1.4 primes, basically the 23mm on crop will replace my 35mm for travel biggrin.gif

ohh ok.
go buy x100s for travel, or coolpix A...haha tongue.gif

Wanna ask sifu opinions here, is D7100 heavy for traveling (2 weeks)? I'm thinking of getting just one lens (maybe 18-200mm VRii). Anyone ever use that lens? Lazy to change lens.

I'm torn between taking a dslr and a mirrorless.
*
its not heavy, but you will notice it after 3hrs or more.
mirrorless is ok, but problem is your battery may not last 3hrs tongue.gif

Oh I didn't realize m43's battery performance is weak. I'll be using for whole day when traveling so that's a huge nono.

its not terribly weak, just not good compared to DSLR especially if you're gonna be out a whole day with no spares.
m43 say 500 shots, D7100 can do double that easy.

I would lean towards mirrorless for travel purpose definitely. Smaller and lighter! Saves the shoulder ache from carrying the heavy DSLR setup, and its not so "flashy".
That's the thing about mirrorless! Sensor turned on all the time while shooting, try shooting more on EVF to save on battery.
Yeah, and the batteries are as pricey as DSLR ones! My Fuji retails for RM250 >(

ya i got a mirrorless also.
but travel, i just bring my fuji x10 tongue.gif

That's even smaller... tongue.gif
I always stick to the original, my original Nikons are still working fine till now. Some since 2009!

interestingly enough, my mirrorless aka gx1 with 14mm is smaller than x10.

then it's better to stick to original batteries, more expensive but lasts longer and more durable.

but I heard that some 3rd party batteries cost like rm50 but can perform as well as ori ones?
m4/3 are getting so damn small now, look at the new oly em10 with 14-42, it's around the same size as gx1 (or even smaller?) but gives you zoom.
*
stick to ori batts la.
3rd party sure got some can perform like ori, but for how long? surely not as long as ori.
plus for nikon, this might happen to u sooner or later.

I have D700/D800 as my DSLR equipment... right now they are good enough for my stuffs tongue.gif D4s is definitely out of my league hehe. If want style, I guess D4 will be sufficient xD
