No No No! Too many clicks for an old outdated camera. You'd be better off with a used d5200, d5300, d7000, or .......

Oh! I'm still confused as to which camera to buy. One day it's this one and the next day it's that one. I've read and heard that the d7200 has higher ISO performance, better auto focus, a new and ...

Thanks for the info. Maybe I should go for the d7200 after all.

Thanks for your input. I shoot RAW, am not concerned with buffer size or speed, I need image quality and focus accuracy. I probly should go with the newer d7200 as I think it has improved focus ...

Well said. If I can find a good used d7100 with a very low shutter count I'll buy it.

Off hand I can't think of any negatives with the newer d7200, have you?

I always own two camera bodies, one full frame and one DX body. My full frame is a d800, my DX is a d5200. I once had a d7100 also, but sold it to enable myself to get more full gear for small ...

The Angry Photographer said all the negative comments you mentioned about the 16-80 lens. I have a Nikon 16-85 f3.5-5.6 DX VR which I like a lot.

The Nikn 50 and 85 f1.8 G lens are pretty good for portraits. I have both and use them on my d800 as well as my d5200 DX crop camera. I also have the 70-200 f2.8 FX VR11 which is a gold mine that ...

"camera labs" is a good thorough site.

I quit following Ken Rockwell a few years ago. A lot of what he says isn't true while other thing don't make good sense.

I too have a 24-120 f4 and like it a lot. I once had a Nikon 24-70 f2.8, never used it at 2.8, sold it do to needs in other camera gear, since bought a 24-120 f4 and never looked back to the ...

Yes that is true, I'm a zoom guy for situations like weddings. Not all are in the same boat and that's ok. I watched a utube video of a pro wedding photographer who shoots an entire wedding with a ...

Interesting! You don't shoot with a longer focal length than 100mm? I'm definantly going to be utilizing my 70-200 f2.8. I do have a 12-24 f4 DX, but I haven't considered using it for a wedding. ...

You have a good point in suggesting I use the 24-120 f4 over the 16-85 f3.5-5.6 DX. That's what I've done in the past. I had my 24-120 f4 on my full frame and my 70-200 f2.8'on my DX crop camera. ...

I've shot a few (4) weddings and always work two cameras, one with a slightly wide to above normal zoom, the other with a mid to long zoom. I use primes for posed groups and a 1:1 macro for ring, ...

I would also stick with Nikon glass.

The Nikon 50 f1.8 G FX is a nice sharp lens that I own as well as many other serious photogs. If you NEED the added shallow dof from a f1.4 then that's a reason to spend twice the money to get ...
