Hi i currently shoot with Nikon D80's and want to go up a level and purchase a new camera and lens. I shoot weddings and really struggle in low light conditions. I want a camera to help with this and a new lens for beauty shots with dof. I was at Jessops at the weekend and they advised going for the D7100 over the D7000 and i'm not sure if that was because its cheaper :o has anyone any advice with using either camera?
They also recommended a nikon 24-70mm f.2.8G lens at a whopping price! and a AF-S 50mm f1.4g lens.
if anyone has any advice on what i should get for what i need it for i'd really appreciate it :) thank u,
Cindy
 
Jeeez jessops must really want some cash out of you ;)

If you shoot weddings you might want to have a look at something like a used D7000 and a used tamron 17-50mm f2.8

For quality and speed though I'd go with a double D7000 combination with a couple of fast primes. A 24/35mm +85mm will cover you for most scenario's.

Anyhow, if you're prepared to dip your foot in the used pool, you'll get MUCH more for your money and as a result will be note likely to get the shots due to more gear :)

I have both cameras and it seems to me that the D7100 has more MP and a few other little things the D7000 does not have.The D7100 has a green cast on the preview screen so it is poor for setting white balance.I wanted more MP otherwise I would not have bought the D7100.:cool:
 
I had a D7000 on loan but in the end got a D7100 and 50mm f1.8 amongst other things. IMO it's the best DX camera to date.

The 24-70 although a great lens, is really more for full frame.
 
Hi thanks everyone for ur advice i've decided to go for the the d7100 am tres excited!
 
I recently upgraded from D5100 to D7100, I don't regret it one bit.

Enjoy! :)
 
If money isn't an issue then D7100 is the right choice

Personally I went D7000 for 95% of the functions for 60% of the price when compared to the D7100

I paid £509 for my new D7000 which I reckon was a total bargain!
