Just wanted to let you know I got my Nikon D7100, it was delivered by UPS yesterday afternoon. Makes you feel like a little kid at Christmas. I got it from B&H, ordered last Saturday evening on-line (01/03/15), delivered 01/07/15. Great service. It box was really cold since our temperature drop over the last few days. I didn't want to take any chances of condensing moisture by opening the box too soon with the warm air in the house. I let it set for a few hours to warm up slowly before opening it. I checked the contents and all is good. I am charging the battery and looking through the User Manual to get me started. I'll probably cut the learning curve down a bit by looking through the manual. I can tell already that this is going to be great.

its the small things in life!!!! enjoy your new toy!!
;)
You will love it.
Read that manual, its chock full of great data, but will not actually tell you how to USE your new instrument. There are a lot of good aftermarket shooting guides that will though, should you need one. Have fun!

Thank you. I want to familiarize myself with the buttons and some of the options available on it. I think I saw several Field Guides on Amazon so I may check into one of them too. When I get some more money available, I will be wanting to get some additional good lenses. I have checked out your Camera Cottage website and I may contact you to see what lenses new or used you might have in stock and the pricing. I'm retired so it may be a little while, but I won't forget.

YEAH!
The wait is OVER!
Now go shoot some Photographs.
Have fun and Enjoy!
(BEWARE: Now you will likely get a lot of GAS.)
Congratulations, I am anxiously waiting for mine to come in tomorrow, 01/09/2015. UPS says it will be here. Hope so!
I have been wanting a D7100 for about a year now.
Picked up a copy of "Nikon D7100: From Snapshots to Great Shots" by John Batdorff.
It seems to be just what I needed to study while waiting on my camera to arrive. Takes you through the controls and a lot of basics, but that is what I needed and answered a lot of my questions.
Very excited to get it delivered and start the learning curve.
Keep me posted on how you progress with yours.

Congratulations! I commend you for your patience. I don't know if I would have been able to just look at that box (which is exactly what I would have been doing) for several hours before opening. You are going to love it. I shoot mainly with the D7000. Great camera, and yours is even better!

Sure will. I have seen the book but I don't own a copy, yet.

Thanks, I am sure I will love using it.
Congratulations! Great camera that you will have a lot of fun with. I know I do.
Good Luck with the new camera.

Congrats! I know EXACTLY how you feel. Mastering the D7100 by Darrell Young and ordered on Amazon for my Kindle got me off and running and I never needed the manual til much later!
