I have a chance to get a D7100 at a very reasonable price, it it still worth buying a D7100? I presently shoot with a D610, I will definitely keep that camera.

You need to decide - I have just one DX camera, but it does a great job, particularly since I can use all the FX lenses on it (as well as all my ancient Nikon glass) . Have a used D7200 - haven't had a D7100 - compare the specifications. There are deals on the D7200 floating around just now.

That's not a question anyone can answer - I have stuck to DX format because it meets my needs, and shoot with a D7100 because it is the best model for me. I don't like or want flippy screens, GPS, or wireless connections the D7500 doesn't have sufficient IQ improvement to make it worthwhile. The D7200 has a bigger buffer capacity, but zero difference in IQ. Since I rarely shoot wildlife or sports in movement, it's not worth the premium to me. Like everything else, the camera that's most suitable for you depends on your individual needs, desires, and budget.

It’s your money, so get it if it calls to you. But logically, the only reason to get it is if you want to see what the DX format adds to your photographic arsenal, such as extended reach for wildlife. Or are you just seeking variety? If that is the case, you may have many choices other than the D7100 that are probably in the same ballpark for cost.

I agree with others it is a great camera and I love the one I have but in that price range there are other options. I think it depends on what you expect to use it for. That said, if the price is right, it is a good camera.

See what they've been selling for on eBay and find out how many clicks are on the shutter. The D7100 is a good camera, and every "photographer" should have at least two similar cameras. : )

Got rid of my 7100 for a 7500...you will be very disappointed with the buffer on the 7100 especially if you use the camera for wildlife or sports as that usually requires quick multiple shots in succession. Missed many shots because of this small buffer....no more with the 7500.

You don't explain why you want to add a crop-sensor camera to your full-frame D610. Unless you have a good reason to do so I would pass this up.

I was thinking about buying a new car. Should I buy a new car?
If you want a better answer, please provide a little more info about what you like to shoot, your budget, and why you want another camera body.

Depending how much it is. It's still working right? It's certainly good enough for many applications and whether to buy it or not depending on how much it costs and how much it costs to buy something better.

Ditto what Andy said. I shoot with a D7100 and a D700. with sooo much Nikkor glass, they're the only DSLR's I'll ever own. I'm a retired professional photographer and see no need to "up-grade" beyond them. They're both fantastic cameras so I've got DX and FX covered. Just don't ask my wife about the other 100 plus cameras in my collection please!

Skip the D7100 unless it's for a kid. Look at the Z's if you have a GAS attack.
