It just spins round and round and round and round
The AE-L button is perfectly placed for BBF provided you are right eyed. As one of the Devil's own, I am left eyed and the button is very uncomfortable to use on my D7000. The button needs to be placed further to the right to be of any use to me but there really isn't the real estate to do that. The front grip Function button is less than ideal as well, I can't find it readily. The button placement is, dare I whisper it within this thread, perfect for me on my Canon 5D2. However, the power switch is perfectly placed on the D7000 and a two handed job on the Canon.

Suppose I should give it a go then really...
I might just ignore it though. Haha.
Never got on with BBF, but then again it was different to what i'm used to and i hate change.

It's not new but I've got a good deal on it imo.
Thanks Andy. I'm still learning PP so it's good to get it noticed.
I certainly notice a difference between the D7K and D7100 - better AF, better IQ even with average glass (the 24-70 is amazing on it though). Feels better in the hand too.Wonder if I'll see any difference in the 7100 over the 7000? Doubt it.
I also have the Sigma 70-200 OS and its pin sharp on the D7100Reassuring @JulesP, thanks.
I do need to decide on what lenses to add to it... I had the Nikon 17-55 before and whilst it was totally awesome, it gave some really bad flare issues which rendered it pretty much useless for any kind of landscape stuff if it involved the sun. I'm contemplating an all Sigma line up, maybe the 18-35 f1.8, 50mm f1.4 (older non art version) and the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 os.
That's obviously stocked over a few months, but I'm leaning towards that kind of setup. Anyone see any issues?
That's when its at its best lol love it and cant go back nowCan't do BBF when taking sports in AF-C

You should notice the longer reach especially when you use the 1.3 crop mode - effectively doubling your focal length compared to FXNice to hear, I ordered one yesterday. I liked my D7k but preferred the Fuji when I swapped over.
I have sold my Fuji kit as they delayed there super zoom by 12 months and as I have got into bird photography in the garden I decided to switch back to Nikon for longer lenses available. I did buy a D750 but had to return to due to debris in the VF, also due to no cash I had to buy some cheap lenses to get me going, Sigma 28-70 f2.8-4 and Nikon 75-300mm..
After looking at finances over the New Year, I have decided to go with the D7100 & 300mm f4 for the birding. I will buy some primes, 50g & 85g and save for the D750. I thought I would be better off with a decent camera and lens, rather than a excellent camera and not so good lenses.
Me too David, my trusty D7000 will need moving on, just couldn't resist, those pesky classifieds.A little bump for this thread as i have one arriving tomorrow. Looking forward to having a play with it and my new Sigma 18-35mm f1.8. Should hopefully give some sharp results!
Love my Sigma 70-200, the IQ is great, but its a heavy beast on days out with the kids.Yeah I saw you'd caved into temptation.
I've got the older 18-105 coming aswell but that will go straight into the classifieds I think. I fancy a Siggy 70-200 but I also fancy having a bash at wildlife again so maybe a Sigma 150-500 will be on the cards too.

Also got a 18-140 coming too to replace the 18-200 I somehow broke last year.
I only use the convenience of the 'superzoom' when shooting my kids outdoor dance galas a few times a year. My 17-50 and 70-200 are obviously better IQ, but changing lenses = too many missing shots in a 15 minute dance show. So happy to get lots of 'good' shots versus not getting 'awesome' shots.
Hopefully shouldn't miss the extra zoom, but this article convinced me a 18-140 on a D7100 would be better than a 10 year old 18-200: http://www.philharbordphotography.co.uk/nikon_18-140.html
And people like DXO say the 18-140 is the best Nikon superzoom, especially on the newer sensors like the D7100.
See that's how it easy it is to talk myself into these upgrades.
