Back to the future
Some yeas ago, I replaced my dying D300, which I loved by a D7100. While it is supposzed to be superior, thank to more pixels, higher isos and ability to make movies, I never was entirely happy with the new camera. It felt fiddly, and I never took that much pleasure using it. In the end, i bought an old D700, just to see. And there it was. It is like I was reunited with my D300 and I understood what was missing. It is not the so much the light and plastiquy feel of the D7100 that was putting me off, is the fact that it is so much more difficult to use. On the D700, evrything is there, easily accessible, fast to use, well thought. I am now selling my D7100. I was kind of thinking upgrading it to a D610 or maybe a D750, I know now that I will have to wait until I can afford a D800 or D810...
