Morning, Afternoon, Good evening, where ever you may be in this world of ours.
I am currently running a Nikon D3200, Iv had it for 2 years now and still love it but I feel I need to upgrade for two reasons.
1. I find myself taking more and more photos in low to very low light conditions.
2. I find when using a few of my lenses (Tamron 180 macro & Ronkinon 16mm) I find the camera is not overly comfortable to hold whilst shooting. The grip just doesn't feel deep enough.
3. I live in a very hot, humid and dusty country and weather sealing is a big appeal to me, my D3200 has had it rough in the last two years and once the new camera arrives will have to go and be fully cleaned inside and out by the dealership . . . poor thing needs it.
So the main contender is either the D7000 or D7100 as I want to stay with Nikon and cant really afford and warrant going full frame as a few of my lenses are DX. I am sure there must be others out there that have done similar switches from D3200 - D7000 or D7100.
How did you find the switch? I wont be getting the new camera till Christmas so plenty of time to go and play with one in the shops and drool.
Any one have the D7000 or D7100, how do you find the camera? how is it for holding over long periods of time? Low light handling?
I am by no way a good photographer out of a 100 shots one might be worth while but I still enjoy learning the game, hoping the wife will learn to use the D3200 once I get the new toy.
Hope some one can give a little bit of info.
Thanks
