Thing i didnt like about my minolta 50mm 1.7 was the noisy screw driven af for street i would want something quieter.

I would look at getting a bounce flash as well then if your struggling with low light, you can still shoot at low f stops for the bokeh but the extra light lets you shoot at low iso's too, best thing I ever did was buying a bounce flash for indoor photography. Taken with 35mm 1.8 and bounce flash.

Good advice so far, whats your budget? For kids indoors i find prime lenses too restrickting one second there in frame next there too close etc at least with a zoom you can zoom in and out at will to follow them around the room. Look at tamron,sigma and nikon all do great fast zooms just depends...

Ohhhh Betty....:p

Are you happy with your current lenses?

D7100 isnt full frame. Personally i would sell your current camera and either get a secondhand d7000 or a grey d7100 for the better ergonomics better build etc but you will lose the flippy screen. Or go the whole hogg and get a ff d610 but you will need new lenses as well.

18-55 kit lens 35mm 1.8 16-50 2.8 50mm 1.7 I dont want to sound rude but OP do you know how to use your camera properly? I use a sony a57 and i get some seriously good images out of it, i have the kit lens, a 50mm 1.7,a 35mm 1.8 and a 16-50 2.8 they are all fine for capturing my 2 year old.

I would go and hold these cameras first before buying, my friend has a d3200 and the ergonomics are horrible.

As others have said you can turn a 35mm into a 50mm by taking 2 steps forward its pointless having both, either go for a 85mm 1.8 or if you want a 50mm get a tamron 17-50 2.8 its a great walkabout lens and can do portraits too, I found 35mm not wide enough for street on a crop camera.

People upgrading from the d700 surely. :)

D750 + battery grip?

Take the 18-55, you will be needing the wide angle if your photographing monuments.

Hope nikon sort out their QC issues for this one. ;)

Not a massive difference, just have a big poo before setting off to lose the weight instead. ;)
