D7100 to D7200

[Don Kondra]

[QUOTE="Don Kondra,

Camera Canada has the D7200 on sale for $1200, taxes in.

Your D7100 might be worth $500 if you sold it privately.

How much are they giving you for a trade in ?

Cheers, Don

Don, I checked with Henry's and they said $425 to $450 on trade in. Not much. I don't think I will do it. Might save for the D500 if it turns out to be as good as the specs.

That's not that bad Dave. Figure a two year old body is worth half of new.

I/we have simply waited too long to sell a D7100. All of the refurbs going for $500 killed the used market.

After a month on six photo forums and over a 1000 views, I found a local buyer for $580.

As to the d500, not sure I want to spend +$3000 Cdn.....

Of course they announced it a week after I purchased the D7200 !

Cheers, Don

Update, the $3000+ Cnd for the D500 just isn't in the cards and once I had already gotten the itch to buy a new body I went with the D7200. I have 5 DX lenses so I stayed with a crop sensor camera. I've had it a few weeks and I'm happy with the purchase which is what counts. Guess it was a case of I didn't really need it but I wanted it.

Here is a shot from this past weekend.

I am actually having second thoughts on the D500 and get the D7200 kit with 18-140 and put the 18-140 on my D3300 for a light walk about use and use the sigma 150-600 glued on the D7200 for my birding-wildlife setup.Save the big difference in price for a latter date for the D500 after its been tested by many others and maybe the price drops bit in a year or so.

BTW, the D500's are already being discounted in Europe ==> Nikon D500 Now 10% Off In Europe | Nikon Rumors

I went from a D7100 to a D600, but now fancy getting a D7200 as a backup and because I primarily shoot birds.

But the difference in low-light between the D7100 and D600 is massive, so that's what's putting me off buying the D7200 at the moment.

I've contemplated that myself several times. I had a d7000 that I held on to becz of the crop, but I found out the image cropping the d600 was better than the d7000. So I sold the d7000. I wouldn't mind having a d750 though.

I have a D7000 at the moment too as backup but it really isn't a patch on the D7100 that I had before.

The D750 certainly looks appealing though, but what I'm saving for is a D810 as I had a go on one and it really is a step up (or 3!) from the D600

Is there something about a D600 that prevents bird photography?

I have said it before and Ill say it again now photographers are a lot like excavator/backhoe drivers, a good driver can get the best out of any machine, granted the digger might be total pig iron but non the less he/she will make it work. A bad driver on the other hand is a total waste of a good machine.

I love these images. I too have a Nikon D7100 and when I purchased it, was torn between that and the D7200. After reading the specs and comparing images on the web, I decided the trade off between wasn't worth the money and bought the D7100 which I haven't regretted for a moment. I upgraded from the D3100.

May I ask, what lenses where these images taken with. I love the sharpness of the birds.

Thank you for answering me. I also had the same choice and I am totally happy, that I chose D7100. I used Tokina 12-24/4 and Samyang 14 mm/2.8 for these shots
