Which next? Faster glass or D7100 body?

I agree with Mt Shooter, the glass is first you may at some point in the near future wish to go full frame such as a Nikon D610, or a D800/D800e,used,or refurbished if you buy fx lenses now you will be ready for the leap. You might wish for now to add those primes to your collection buying used and refurbished will be easier on your wallet and allow you to get more bang for the buck, also a nice tripod such as those Carter sells would be a great investment, he will never steer you in the wrong direction.

Oh My, Norman. Please don't hold your breath waiting on me.
A D7100 will likely never happen in my lifetime. LOL! :lol:
But I may never learn all about my D3300 either. :shock: :lol:

Have a look at this site http/www.keh.com/361623/nikon-d610-24-3mp-digital-camera-body, I and quite a few others have had nice luck from these folks, also B&H,Adorama,Cameta,all honest easy to deal with and they give a nice used warranty and sell extra couple years warranty for not bad pricing, I picked up a D800 before Christmas for $1200., when it came it had 40000+ shutter clicks, I called them just to ask if this was excessive which I think that for the price it was not, they gave me the 3 year warranty and 2 (my pick under 350. total) lenses , talk about customer service they cannot be beat, oh and I found both used lenses for about $175. total I really felt bad taking their offer but when I told them it bothered me to do so the rep. insisted and wanted me to take the full offer which I said was to much. needles to say in the last month I have bought 3 more used lenses and a battery grip, and remote from them

I started with the 3200 with the kit lenses and thought something was wrong with my camera when I examined my first few images really close. I was told that it was the quality of the glass. So, I got some good glass and Wow!!! what a difference! My kit lenses haven't been back on the camera since then. I also started adding good glass to my collection (FX because I figured I would have one eventually). Then I got the 7100 and absolutely love it and already had the glass. Now I just got a 800e and really love that one too but, in a different way for different shooting.
I would not want to have to choose between the 7100 or 800 if I could have only one camera. The 7100 is that nice (IMHO) :wink: Each has it's role.
You just might be surprised what proper glass can do on the 3200. You also wouldn't be disappointed with the 7100 unless the glass you put on it wasn't capable of realizing it's full potential.

The lens is most important you will want FX which will open up to f1.8
But you have to have a better camera like D7100 to raise your ISO up 6400 and higher or better and to use FX lenses. Which the D600 has bigger mirror ( full frame) crop

The D7100 will gain you almost nothing in resolution over the camera you already have (both are 24MP DX sensors). I would say you will gain more image quality by progressing to better quality lenses.
If you simply need to ADD a body, the D7100 would be an excellent choice.
It is always wise to remember that it is the LENS that captures the image, the camera is merely a recording device.

While I'm not qualified to disagree with MT shooter on anything related to photography I'll just note that on DXOMark evaluations of cameras and lenses the camera most often makes more difference than different lenses.
But in this case where the sensors are quite similar I'm sure (as always) that MT Shooter is right.

This is the one that I will likely order because Cameta offers a 1 year warranty, along with an 85mm f1.8 AF lens from KEH or ebay when I find the right one for the right price. Thank you for the link! And then I can start adding more AF prime lenses at a cheaper price than the AF-S lenses.

I had problems too in school gyms theres a little secret raise your ISO
And see the diffrence I didnt have a fancy camera then or lens the iso when raised makes your camera more sensitive to light . Your pictures will be brighter. Good luck
