I just jumped in the deep-end, for the first time, and ordered a D7100 refurb body to, not replace, but supplement my FE2 film body. Never had a digital that wasnt a pocket point-and-shoot, so Ive got a learning curve ahead. Example: I know nothing about white balance.
I went for the D7100 as the deal I got on Amazon (through Adorama) was about the same as a D90 body would have been, and about $600 less than a D7200. Would have loved the better buffer on the D7200, but I didnt think that it was worth that much more to me to have, considering my previous buffer on the FE2 was my right thumb. 3 fps, tops! So, the D7100 will be like stepping out of a Sopwith Camel and into an F15E.

I agree..I have an FE2 sitting on my desk and love that camera. The cost difference between the 7200 vs 7100 would have pushed me more to the 7100. Most probably should get the 7100 and use the extra cash for a prime lense.
