Nikon 7200 vs 7100: I am thinking about upgrading. What is the main difference between the 7100/7200? I am now shooting a Nikon D70s. Thanks...

Probably the main difference is the D7200 shoots a little better in low light. It's a marginal upgrade from the D7100.

Read the review. The 7200 is an incremental upgrade. Nothing earth shattering.

Either would be a big jump over the D70s.

One upgrade I would like to have on my D7100 that the D7200 has is a larger buffer.

I have both cameras, and I would say the D7200 is a little more than an incremental upgrade. The much larger buffer size results in virtually no lag in continuous shooting in raw. I believe the D7200 can bracket nine exposures (vice either seven or five for the D7100). Low light performance is better--maybe not as good as the D750, but still very good. Focusing is faster--in low light with a 2.8 lens it is remarkably fast.

If you had a 7100 probably not enough to make a change unless going for a second body. The bigger buffer and improved low light performance make the 7200 worth the difference in price upgrading from the D70.

Agreed, but depending on what you shoot the larger buffer may be of no value to you. If you shoot a lot of fast moving subjects, sports or kids for example, the bigger buffer is a bonus. ;)

All the answers can be found here. One thing to consider is resale. A newer model will sell for more than an older one.

You like photography? Really want to make a difference? Go full frame. You will never regret it. If you move to the 7100/7200 you will always wonder what if I had a FF. Remove those doubts and go FF.

The difference in going from your D70 to the D7100 is a much greater upgrade than going to full frame from the D7100, multiple reviews and tests have prove that. We were blown away when we went from the D70 to our D7100s.

Few assignments gain from FF. Whatever you decide, you will be thrilled if you go with the D7100, you will suffer few regrets. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: most important, Have Fun

There is a significant difference for example in going from a crop sensor 7100 to a full frame D750 for example. Therefore it is even a bigger difference from the D70.

In looking at the future, crop sensor cameras and lenses will disappear. The cost of a FF has plummeted in recent years and will continue. Mirrorless FF is the future.

It depends on what you prefer doing. If it is reach, then the DX. If the IQ then the FF. I use my D 7100 mostly for travel, street photography and candid photos. I had a D610 but sold it because these objectives were difficult to achieve unless I carried very heavy lenses. Not an inviting prospect.

Nooooooo, the DX does not give you more reach than the FF. That is an illusion promoted by those who want to justify their crop sensor cameras. No DX lens is listed as a 300 mm with an asterisk ** 450 mm equivalent.
