I've got a D7000 and love it. I have a Tamron 17-50 and a Sigma 70-200 and love the quality they bring.
But I shoot my kids dancing events that need to be 18mm one minute, zoomed the next, so I struggle the use the above combo.
I have tried my 18-200 recently, but this appears now faulty, full details and some sample shots in this thread: http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/th...imited-performance-what-other-options.551109/
Whilst on the face of it, the last shots I took with the 18-200 were sharp, it was a sunny day and I was at f8 to help the lens out. Not every day is going to give me those perfect shooting conditions.
I've contemplated a 18-105 etc and other bigger zooms, but probably on par with 18-200 methinks. Nikon 16-85? Okay, fine lens, but much of a difference over my 17-50 2.8?
Looking through my lightroom catalog, i'm wondering what I could get away with on these shoots, 100mm max maybe? So this is where i'm thinking D7000>D7100 and don't bother with a new lens?
a) D7100 is 24mp versus 16mp of the D7000
b) this crop mode feature the D7100 has
I suppose the basic question i'm asking is, will the extra megapixels (and maybe the crop mode) give my 17-50 a shot in the arm with regard its zoom? ie using cropping to make up for lack of zoom?
Or do I look at say the 16-85 and go at it that way? Last resort, get the 18-200 fixed and stick with that?
Any comments or thoughts very much appreciated.
