Price on body only ???
bleh....Nikon D3100 came out what 3 years ago and it just a few millimeter bigger....
Falconest174: Just added this to my wish list. Will gladly wait for a review or a preview with some actual shots from a production model. <Drool> Of course my present D7K still is working fine but I like the thought of 50% more resolution. More detail is always better.
Agreed. I do lots of landscapes and lots of birding !
David Kinston: At first glance I was excited by the 'new 1.3 crop mode'. How disappointing that it turned out to be 1.5x1.3 = 1.95 crop mode!
I don't know of any DX only 50mm lenses. They came out with the 35mm DX lens to make the FOV similar to the 50mm on FX. Focal length on your 50mm is still just that. 50mm.
If you take away the history of FX sensors, then the 1.3 crop on this camera is still only that. An extra 1.3 crop.
Field of View is what is important in this case.

Well it always was a crop sized sensor. APS-C.
If you are using DX lenses, it's still only a 1.3 crop. If you are using FX lenses then like u said, 1.5x1.3.
There should be a D400. According to Nikon Europe, they have been told that "..the D7100 is not the D300(s)'s replacement.."

This should keep the D300 crybabies happy...

Tomskyair: Specs look great, like the omission of the OLPF for better detail and the improved AF. Coming from a D300 I would have loved to see a true successor to it of course. But if that mythical "D400" doesn't come the D7100 may pretty well take its place in my camera bag and breathe new life in my 12-24 and 16-85 DX optics.
I don't really care about the "small buffer" as I usually don't employ the "spray 'n pray" shooting style. But I definitely like the shape of the D7100's body compared to the D7000 (and lesser extent also the D90): despite almost identical dimensions with the D7000 the D7100 looks much beefier and is more ergonomically shaped. This goes especially for the grip which is more rounded and wider almost as on a D300/D700. Actually that was my primary dislike with the D7000; although having rather small hands the D7000 always felt edgy and awkward to me and I could never befriend myself with its ergonomics. The D7100 looks much more promising in this regard.
Actually, if you've held the D600 in your hands, the D7100 is almost identical. The grip part is sharper and easier to hold. The D7000(which I own) has a rounder grip and if it gets a little moist(or wet) down she goes. The D600 and D7100 grabbier edge finger grip should hold better.
Have to wonder if the buffer increases if you use the "M" 12MP setting ? Hopefully it does.
So what, get a swab and clean the damn thing. I can't believe all the babies out there crying about dust or oil spots on all the new Nikon cams. It takes freakin 2 minutes, wipe wipe wipe and your done !!!!!!!!!!!! Wahh wahhh wahhh
What a gogdamn joke $224 for a tripod mount makes it $1624 complete. I think Nikon is shooting itself in the foot. Sigma kills it !!
Why no XS-1 review, dpreview ???????? This is way overdue !!!!!!!!!!! Are you afraid that it will clobber every other superzooms out there in image quality ??
Sure wish they'd add a FULLSCREEN buton for the sample images, nothin I hate more than having to resize my browser and click 4 times to see an image !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeez, come one DP, I think my 12 year old could have setup better shots than that !!
What a rip off for the upgrade pricing !!
If the recipient of the photo is happy with the result, whether he is a paying customer or not, then we have to consider success. For those who are claiming this REAL or NOT real, too bad life goes on and we must accept it. How many times have you sold some of your work and not modified it using any type of software. Even in film photography, all kinds of processing tricks are used to make a customer happy !
meltdown117: I don't care about the Instagram... Just get rid of that stupid Timeline!!!

It's easy to spend other people's money Mr. Suckerbird !!
Do they work in Adobe Camera Raw ??????
