Since you're not yet caught in the Nikon vs Canon trap, you're free to start in mirror-less. Add $50 to your budget and look at the Sony a6000.

I'm a Nikon guy, but mirror-less is clearly the future. Don't get sucked into this age old argument.

Geesus man. Go back and read the OP. No where does he say anything about photography. Can you really be that much of a dunce?
If someone were to post at length on a restaurant forum about an opportunity to visit New Orleans or San Francisco would you not assume that the person intended to take in the local food?
Don't be a D-bag.

Thanks! The portion with no background is negative space for ad copy, which is typical.

Tonight I whipped up some fake ice and took a juicy and icy commercial beverage shot for the portfolio.

Nice job. By the way, how does the stuff taste? There are so many BBQ sauces on the market you could easily pull your hair out trying to pick one!
Thanks! I have been a competitive BBQ cook for 12 years and I cannot recommend Kosmo's products more highly. I've used his rubs and sauces and have won many awards with it. In fact, he has a few world champions that use his products. Aside from all of that, he's good guy and it's a family business.

And I disagree with your disagreement. 
How often do you shoot birds in flight at 1/200 sec?
How often do you shoot birds in flight at 1/200 sec?The OP didn't mention birds in-flight. Herons and egrets often stand near or in the water.
My advice was to improve the overall exposure. The birds aren't a problem if you can't see them due to underexposure. ;-)

Or, take a shot in program mode and see what the camera calculates then switch to manual, start with those settings and tweak as needed. That will get you closer quicker.

800 is not high ISO on your D7100. Crank it up!
I disagree. Start with the shutter speed. A setting of 1/1600 is too fast. Set the ISO to 100, and the shutter to 1/200 and then go faster if needed to get the metering where it needs to be.

Check to make sure that you don't have bracketing turned on.
This may sound condescending, but by no means is that my intent. I've had this facepalm moment quite a few times.

I had the same dilemma about a year ago and after a ton of research I went with the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD. I've been very happy with it, but I'm going to sell it. I just don't need a $1200 ultra-wide.
