Holy Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! I think DP Review has FINALLY got a thread where EVERYONE agrees and nobody is arguing!

Do you people actually read what's written or just skim it over for keywords? I was actually poking fun at the people who will be crying for VR on a fast lens.

But for you Sony/Pentax "magic VR"...

Nevermind. Someone already brought up the "no VR" issue.

I'm surprised nobody is crying about no VR!

I don't think people comprehend how big an 18-35mm f/1.8 would be for FX.

I have at least one DX camera at all times so I'll be getting one of these...

Sigma breaks a barrier and everyone is complaining that it's not full-frame. :)

Ok. My comment wasn't meant to start an argument about which lenses are sharper, what primes are better, etc...

ALL I was saying was that Nikon needs to update it's pro DX standard zoom to keep up...

No point in even continuing this discussion. You are completely derailing it with wacky talk.

16-50 f/1.8? Haha.

@yabokkie:

I have a D800. I also have a D600, a D700, and a D5200 as well as the D7100 at the moment. I write camera guides. I have a pretty good grasp on what gear I "should" use. I'm writing a...

The 17-55 WAS a good lens when paired with earlier cameras. It's STILL a good lens when stopped down to f/5.6 on the D7100.

Heck, it's not really that bad when the image is downsized to about...

My reasoning is simple. I use my Nikons for work. I prefer the speed of AF and the convenience of a zoom. This way I get things done quicker and I get paid quicker. I pay top dollar for my Nikon...

I think you're missing the point here.

99% of the people that are going to be buying the D7100 have no need for fast exotic MF Zeiss primes or highly expensive super-teles.

As of right now...

I have both the D5200 and the D7100. For all practical purposes the image quality is the same. The only real difference that I've noticed between the two is that the D7100 is really starting to...

@TruePoindexter: Not all Nikon sensors are made by Sony. The two newest sensors are made by Toshiba.

Considering Canon has the ability to manufacture their own sensors and waaaaay more R&D...

@FTH
You obviously have some psychological issues from your past that need working on. Perhaps instead of hanging around internet forums and crying about men being abused you should seek some...

I can't believe how many misogynistic people are commenting are on this forum.

Here's a story about a young woman getting abused by a clearly psychopathic man who has spent more time in prison...

Why isn't it relevant? Because you aren't talking about THIS story. You are bringing up some other story about some friend of yours.

You don't even mention that actual story that this article is...

While this may be true, it's not really relevant to this story.

It's easy for people who sit around on photo forums crying about what camera features should be on the newest camera to sit back and judge. It's what they do.

Obviously that man has rage...

According to my Nikon rep the D7100 IS the D300s replacement. I asked her flat out today.
