It's not just the increase in megapixels but the removal of the low pass filter that has resulted in sharper and more detailed images for the D7100. I think I would try and sell the D7000 before buying the D7100 unless money were not an object.

You don't NEED a D7100 to replace your D7000, but you may WANT it.

Thanks for the info. I spoke to my local camera shop and the guy also mentioned the removal of the filter. I think I'm going to wait a little to see if a 7200 comes out and if so what it offers. Then I'll make a decision.

Thanks! That's a great answer!! Big difference between need and want!!

If you needed a post from a forum to tell you that, deciding on whether to purchase the D7100 is the least of your worries.

I currently own the D7000 but am thinking of upgrading to the 7100. My main reasons to upgrade are to have the higher megapixels so I can blow pictures up bigger and possibly better image quality. Is it worth it to upgrade? I don't shoot any video.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I would wait for the next edition D7xxx that is rumored to be coming out possibly in September. If you don't care about the newer model, I'd still wait because the price of the D7100 is likely to drop at release time.

If it just the megapixel count, I don't think so, but overall it seems the 7100 is quite better, so yes.

IMHO, going from the D7000 to the D7001 isn't worth the dough. If you want to upgrade to a camera that will take your photos to the next level, invest in a full frame sensor like the D610. You'll see a huge difference, especially in low light situations.

Nothing wrong with "wanting" something, even if you don't "need" it.

I have had a d7000 for over 2 years now (up from a d3000) and it still does what I need it to do.

That is the real point, right here. Does the D7000 still do what you want it to do? If the answer is Yes, then no reason to upgrade. Although there are improvements from the D7000 to the D7100, how many are must have features that you cant live without?

Or, you can do what many do, is get the D7100, anyway, and use the D7000 as the backup.

I upgraded and have no regrets. While the D7000 was one of my all-time favorites, the D7100 is better for all the reasons mentioned, and one more:

I used to occasionally brush the top left control knob, the one that selects shooting mode, when pulling the camera from my bag or pack, and not realize I had changed the setting. There is now a lock button on that knob, and I no longer have accidental setting changes.

"D7100, Nikons BEST APS-C camera without a doubt"??? I went through the whole D5xxx lineup. So jumping a few Mega Pixels each time didn't make much diffrence to me so I went to the Full Frame D600, WOW.
And I am amazed at the increase picture & print quality of the FF.

I went from a D80, not a D7000, to the D7100. For what it may be worth, I am very happy with the new body. I think it will be at least 4-5 years before I start looking into new gear. The problem is that like all other electronic devices the DSLR you buy today will be obsolescent in six months and obsolete in two years. My first Nikon F pretty much represented the state of the photographic art for 25 years.
