I am a hobbyist photographer it is something my wife and I got involved in 7 years ago. I have not done it for about 14 years.So when I retired it was a great way to get back into photography again,and I really like the digital cameras. Because it has been awhile I started out with a Nikon d3300 with 2 kit lenses and have changed my lens since starting but am ready now to move on to a different Nikon just started checking into cameras again. Wanting to go to either a D7100 or D7200 would like to have more control and ability to change other settings,that my starter DSLR does not give me.
