Upgrading to D2x

[Spesh]

Look, all I said is that in my opinion the D2X produced slightly more pleasing files (to me) than the D7000, which I sold last week. I then went on to state the significant number of areas where a D2X could be advantageous for the OPs specific requirements (namely buffer, frame rate, build quality etc)

Nowhere have I tried to change your opinion. Infact I even stated that I was just offering a different point of view for the benefit of the OP.

It is you that has made things personal and you that have taken my comments to heart. If you happen to think D2X is crap, then good for you. But your opinion is no more valid than mine.

All I asked is that you understood and respected that. But you just weren't capable of doing so without feeling personally insulted. Shame!

or i would go for a D300s if not for the D7100, all those have all metal bodies,

The D7100 does not have an all metal chassis, like the D300s has.
The D7100 only has a metal top and back plate, while the front and bottom of the D7100 chassis are plastic.

You can scroll down and see the D7100 chassis here - D7100 Nikon Digital Camera| Digital SLR Camera from Nikon

Here is the D300s - Nikon | Imaging Products | D300S - Reliability

The metal chassis is mainly for heat dissipation and the blocking of RF interference.

I'm going to have to correct some incorrect information, yes I know it's ken rockwell, but the technical information is from what I can tell correct, the D7100 does in fact have a mostly metal body.:

That photo shows the top and back plates.

The bottom and front of the D7000, D7100, and D600 are plastic. A mostly metal chassis isn't an all metal chassis.

Also forum rules prohibit posting photos we don't own rights to. The photo you have posted is obviously owned by KenRockwell.com
We are allowed to post links to photos we don't own rights to, which is what I did.

I was going to ask why you didn't just delete it, but then I noticed that you weren't purple. What happened to your moderator status?

yes I know it's ken rockwell, but the technical information is from what I can tell correct.

I never have understood why so many people give Ken such a hard time. He has simply put his own disclaimer on his website to relinquish himself from any possibility of a lawsuit from the data he has put there, and people just automatically discredit everything he says.

Ken Rockwell is a very experienced photographer. He has a TON of experience with a versatile selection of various Nikon models. His opinion is no different in weight than some of these other "head honcho" gurus that all of the other forum members use that don't have disclaimers on their blogs, reviews and websites.

He's also more reputable than most of us.

I read his site often and really like some of the information he puts out.
