1/320 sync!! sweeeettt that's what I am talking about - Indeed alot to like, 6fps is plenty for 99.99999 % and if you fall in the other .01 percent then you should probably have a D4 anyways. or get a D700 w a grip

10FPS without the D4 price tag would be nice. Plus the higher pixel density is a plus for birders. Still the D7100 is definitely workable with a nice price tag in comparison.

It's a lot of camera for $1200, really. But with no d400 (Nikon is advertising as the "flagship dx"), that means the cheapest Nikon dslr with a PC-sync and/or AF-on button is the d800 for $3000.

The Nikon rep I spoke to about it called this their flagship DX camera "for now." If you really, really want a D400 you could read that optimistically, but I think they were just covering their asses and don't actually expect to produce one.

It's not really 1/320 - It's 1/250. Same as D300 and higher and no different than the D7000 was, so it's not "an upgrade." You have the option of setting it to 1/320 but you may notice some darkening due to the shutter just starting to interfere.

Sorry, but 6 fps is way too slow for me. I should think that Nikon would make at least an 8 fps DX camera even if it has less Mp, needs a battery grip and is very expensive. Obviously, you must lose a full stop (at least-since DX has 40% the area of FX) of hi ISO performance to get the DX reach. Even if a D8XXX cost $2500/3000 that would be cheaper than buying the next up super Tele FL.

Is it just me or does the top screen look a little bigger than the D7000? My complaint about using the D7000 was the top screen was too small for someone like me who's finally reaching the point of needing some type of glasses. If they changed it out, that's a big plus for the 7100.
