Wanted: D7100

As the title says, I would like to buy someone's D7100 if that person is going to "upgrade" to FX. I am moving from a D3100, and have a nice collection of lenses that is going to keep me in the 4/3 range. I am sure that the 7100 will make me a better photographer :mrgreen: but actually its just going to be ease of making adjustments and not missing the shot because I'm fiddling with the menu looking for the WB, or ISO etc.
I see some folks are considering the upgrade to FX but one thing to consider is the cost to replace all the lenses; I have a nice collection of them that would have to be replaced except for the Tokina Pro 100 macro. Wonderful lens,by the way.

Unfortunately for you very few D7100 users are willing to part with them yet, they are just too new and they make a perfect backup body to any full frame camera. When you can pretty much but a new D7100 and new D610 for about the same price as one D800, it makes for a great way to go!

Well I was hoping, as I said I had seen a couple posts regarding someone wanting to move to a full frame. Its been out awhile now, I think the price is going to start down soon.
I'll keep my eyes open.

I have a "Like New" D7100 with low shutter count. Thinking of Selling it along with my pro lens and switching to an Olympus OMD -M1.

Many on eBay...one seller has 5500+ transactions at 100% positive. Many on site right now. Just look for high feedback at never less than 100%.

I've been buying and selling cameras/photo equipment on eBay for 15 years now and teaching a local Community College Class two to three times a quarter for five years.

Personally,I'd buy factory refurbished. Best way to go, but the camera is still fairly new.

Yeah, I looked at refurb; B&H has one factory refurb for $939, 90 day warranty. I don't think the small difference in price is worth it for virtually no warranty. Guess I'll hang on and get a new body; I see a little softening on prices already. Thanks for the post.

Do you need to sell the lens along with the camera? And which lens is it? We can take this offline if you want; my email: tlsurveys@yahoo.com

Really, I purchased a refurbished lens from Cameta Camera awhile ago and sent it back.

I never have been burnt on eBay with buying any lenses. Mt D7100 has maybe 2000 shutter actuation's and has been kept in a camera bag. It is like new.

Forgot to mention, my Feedback is 100% Positive.
