I have no Nikon lenses, but am looking to upgrade from M43, shall I buy the D7100 or D610? Thanks!

In my opinion, D7100 will give you very nice pictures, and results. The problem is that you will need to star over with your lenses ... but after that, the marriage is complete !

Do as much research as possible but foremost, answer this question? What you want to achieve? Both are very capable and what you save with D7100 you can purchase quality lenses.

It all depends whether or not you want to have a DX (APS-C size) or FX (classic 35 mm size) format sensor. The DX sensor has a 1.5X crop factor that will give your lenses a field of view that is 1.5X smaller than the same lens on a FX format camera. This can be an advantage if you shoot wildlife or sports, as it gets you "closer" with any given tele lens. However, getting a wide-angle lens is more challenging in the DX format, although there are still good choices. Both formats make great images. The DX bodies are less expensive, the FX sensors are inherently less noisy and theoretically capable of higher quality. You can use any Nikon DX or FX lens on a DX body. You cannot use DX lenses on an FX body without image cropping. I have a D7100, mainly because I started out with a D100 back when all DSLRs were DX format, and I built my lens collection around the DX sensor size. You won't be disappointed in either body--they are both pro-level cameras with a full suite of controls.

Sorry I don't know about the d7100, what I do know is that it refused to stay on d800 so it finally fell off and I could not find it. I would not recommend it.

I own a D7100 and use 4 lens on it, The 18-300mm is a little heavy but it's a "Can Do" lens for most things. Add the 10-24mm and you can really open a lot of WIDE doors. The 50mm f/1.4G is Awesome at night, you won't believe how great your shoots are. I also have the 35mm, great for a light weight great shooting day. These 4 you won't miss anything.

David, you should keep an eye on nikonrumors [dot] com They monitor all of the word on the street. Current consensus is that there is not going to be a refresh for the D700 this year. I have owned one for a year and a half, and am absolutely thrilled with it. I will keep it for a very long time. The overall sensor performance (low-light, etc.) is still one of the best in the world. see dxomark [dot] com

Terrific. I can not say how much better or worse it is compared to the D 3000, I had the D 7000 before and the D7000 was remarkable already. The D 7100 is even better. Never shot with anything better. Combine that with a nice light sensitive prime lens and you are in heaven.

Yes, it works fine with the d7100, and I have taken very sharp pictures with this lens. Just get the Nikon mount.

I ordered mine with the 24-120 f4, for a walk-around prime lens. The 24-85 is a good choice, too. As for the other zooms you mentioned, it depends entirely what type of photography you are going to do. The 80 to 200 f2.8 is a very good lens - it's expensive, tho. The other zooms are fine, but the quality seems to go up with the price. Also, go to dpreview.com and find their test info on the lenses you want. They are a great source for valid info on all things digital...both cameras and lenses. I love my D610.

Yes, but it will shoot in Dx mode and you will get reduced resolution and more noise. I'd recommend a 28-300mm lens for a d610 if you want a lens of this type.

This lens is specifically designed for the APC sized sensor. Just purchase for your brand of camera! There is no firmware update that I am aware of. I own the D7100 and have no focusing issues w/this lens, but there is a test you can run w/this camera and adjust any focusing issue you might encounter!

The Nikon compatible version of this lens will work fine on the D7100. Keep in mind however that the D7100 is an excellent camera that will not achieve it's full image potential with this lens as it is a lower end lens and is optically "so-so". The D7100 is a great camera that can produce great photos with the use of great lenses. By the way, I own this lens and it did a good job on my D200, especially the macro function which is hard to beat with any other lens. Otherwise for awesome normal telephoto duty skip this one and go with the Nikon 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S VR Telephoto Zoom Nikkor lens. It's great for this camera.

I carefully evaluated all of the Nikon zoom lenses prior to purchasing the D610. Partially at the recommendation of Ken Rockwell, the highly regarded DSLR expert, I selected the Nikon 28-300 AF-S 1.35-5.6 G zoom lens. It replaces both of the zoom lenses that you are considering. In Ken Rockwell's testing he found that the 28-300 provided excellent color balance and linearity out to the corners of the image. When I was ready to buy the Nikon D610 and a Nikon 28-300 zoom I found a bundle of the D610, the 28-300, a Nikon camera case and a 32 GB SD card all packaged together BY NIKON at a price slightly below the best price for the D610 camera body and the Nikon 28-300. I bought the bundle and I am VERY happy with the purchase. I also purchased a Nikon 1.4 50mm fixed lense. The combination of the D610 and the two lenses is producing spectacular photographs for me. Good luck.

you mean the D7000? If the mfr says it fits, then I wouldn't have a problem buying it. The D7100 is likely just an improved D7000, but I haven't seen the spec's yet.

Main thing to know is that, unless you're shooting the d7100, you won't have autofocus (this lens doesn't have the focussing motor in the lens) -- I think the 7100 is the only DX body that has a motor in the body as well.

As far as I know it won't work on D610 as it's full frame camera, while the lense is for crope frame cameras only. You can add ~300$ to buy Sigma 70-200 that is designed for full frame cameras and will work for both.

The D7100 is current version Nikon camera. I would think that it should work just fine.

Hi John, I love this lens, FOR WHAT I DO. As Nikon Brad says, it ain't subtle on the street and it's narrow for landscape. Your reply to him, though, kind of changes the emphasis of what you are looking for because you say your aim is to go for the D810 in time. Would you not be better at this stage to go for lenses compatible with that full frame body when you can afford it???????? If you use this Sigma lens on a D810 you will force the body to downgrade, effectively, to a smaller format the same as you are using now, thereby defeating the purpose of your upgraded body. Sorry to raise more questions than answers but you could spend a fortune on glass that then will not work to best advantage with your dream body so you will have to change your lenses as well (and the crop sensor lenses don't hold their second hand value like the full frame ones do, generally). Coming back to what you like to photograph, on the street big is not necessarily beautiful where kit is concerned. A D810 body with almost any of the quality shorter zooms on it, like the Nikon f2.8, is a pretty big piece of kit when you compare it to your 7100 plus a suitable DX format lens. This is one of the very reasons the 7100 body sells so well! Great quality and not too big/heavy, At the opposite end of the focal length range the crop sensor works well for you too as it effectively increases the zoom effect of any lens you marry it with, turning a 70-200 into a 110-300 approximately. Approximately! You can do the math more precisely if you like!And your F2.8 is still an f2.8. And your body is using the centre of the lens which is likely the best part. Win, win. Best of all - - - - no loan for a new body!!! Good luck, JohnEddy. I wish you well with your picture making. Will

I have no problems with it on my D7100. I have the 17-50 2.8 also, and that lens suffers from a weird issue where if you zoom into the image during playback, the pan buttons don't auto-repeat (you must press it yourself several times). That issue doe NOT affect the 50-150, and even if it did I find it a very small issue considering the image quality and price of the lens.
