Who the hell need 2 terabytes of storage?
NIKON D800!
IT IS STEALING
Can the buffer be fixed with a firmware update?
mforbes: You guys crack me up, complaining about the buffer, I make my living taking photos of outdoor adventure events, zip lining, white water rafting etc., I use Nikon gear and have no idea what the buffer size is in any of my cameras, we don't have time to spray and pray and have the guests sort through a bunch of images and pick out the ones they buy, we do that for them by getting one or two good photos of them. If you need a large buffer for Fido running around the backyard, get a V1.
It's NOT spray and pray when you have waterfowl in focus and the subject is looking straight at you and does the wing flap while sitting on the water, you need as many frames as you can get to capture the moment. Wildlife don't stop and pose.
Whoever at Nikon called this camera the new flagship of DX should be "rolled in broken glass and dipped in vinegar". Nikon Should have stuck to 18mp and cranked out 7-8fps with a larger buffer. THIS IS NOT a camera for fast action sports/wildlife no matter the card used. I am using a Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB@95mbs and I am missing shots that I would normally get with my D300 because of the buffer, IT IS SLOW. The IQ is excellent even at high ISO all the way up to 2500, NOT kidding. If you shoot mostly stills get this camera, I think it can't be beat in IQ at high ISO, in this price range. I am a wildlife photographer and I am very,very disappointed with this camera for action shots. It is going back tomorrow!
GPW: Anyone know if Photoshop Elements 9 can support the files from the D7100
Thanks

I want to apologize to DPR and anyone that I may have offended with an earlier comment (profanity), it was inappropriate and non professional. Please forgive, don't stone.
Scott Kelby hails the D7100 as the low noise champ by a long shot, yet DPR said it falls short of the competition. Who do you believe?
Again folks, this is marketing BS to make you buy the so called latest, greatest advancements.
marbo uk: It's simple, just buy 2 D600's so your covered for the 2 weeks while it's away being cleaned every 3000 shots :-)
Two weeks!!!here in Ontario is more like 2-4 months
GPW: Canon 800mm F5.6 IS USM EF is selling for around $11,000 at Camera Canada, so whats up with Nikon pricing their 800mm at almost 18,000? It might be time for this PO BOY to reconsider an change!!!
$7000 is a lot to pay for a TC. It is going to be a rental for me too, just don't get the crazy price, compared to a canon 800mm.

GPW: The 800mm lens is a company lens or for the very rich. Nikon is heading in the wrong direction in my opinion in terms of expensive lens and sub-par cameras(build quality and MP's). How many 800's are they going to sell, at that price,really and who wants a 36mp camera at 4 fps(huge files), not the average consumer. People have been screaming for an upgrade for the 80-400 and an upgrade for the d300/s and Nikon seems to not give a rats ass about what the average consumer/prosumer wants.
Except Canon costs around $800 less

GPW: Garbage as usual from Don't Think tank
Not nagative, just the truth. It seems that the people who design these bags have no idea. I think that the best bags out there are Lowepro.
Garbage as usual from Don't Think tank
Can anyone else see where these devices can become an invasion of privacy!!!
GPW: Nikon can spend all this time and money on a web site, but not on a D300/S replacement, A.K.A D400???
It's been 5 years already
