Hey all!
After alot of research and FINALLY collecting the funds, I was about to buy the Nikon D7100 this week, and then the rumors came.
All of a sudden both the Canon 7D Mark II and Nikon D9300 are rumored to be anounced soon...
I know that these 2 cameras would likely be overkill for a beginner, but I really do plan to take photography seriously. I am looking for a camera I can grow into, one that won't need replacing for quite some years.
Judging by the research I did, the D7100 fit close to all I wanted in a camera, except the atrophotography performance (mainly milky way shots when out hiking is what I mean by this).
So my question is, should I wait till more is known about these 2 rumored cameras before buying the D7100, or should I bite the bullet and buy the D7100 this week with the chance of having regrets when the rumors get confirmed?
Also, would the 2 rumored cameras be alot above the pricepoint of the D7100? I can add a few 100 euros on top of it's price, but anything more would count me out. I know this is impossible to really know, but I'm sure some veterans got a rough idea
And lastly, assuming both these cameras get anounced in around may, when do you think they will be on the market? I am going on a 2 week hike in the Scottish Highlands this september, so I would like to have whatever camera I'll buy at least mid august so I can spend a few weeks learning to work with it, at least the basics.
Thanks alot in advance!
