Post by SavageduckPost by androidWhat's the best make do if you cant afford proper fullframe glass? A
crop camera or a 1.4 teleconverter. The crop camera gives more speed but
a fullframe sensor should give you less noise to compensate for that.
I think that a lot people deep into telephoto are interested in that!
low light performance probably gives you the best value these days.
6fps only for jpg. Shooting raw you fill the buffer
after ~3shots and then you're stuck with how fast your
card is and it still is the crucial factor even with an
Extreme Pro 95MB/sec SD card.
The User Manual says otherwise.
For 12-bit NEF and JPEG, 6 frames per second. It slows
to only 5 fps with 14-bit NEF.
The memory buffer is specified for 6 lossless compressed
14 bit NEF files and 7 lossless compressed 12 bit NEF
files.
It's pretty hard to argue with that for a 24 MP DX
sensor at that price.
Post by meAlso feels like I went back in time to my D70 as most
of the controls are concerned.
Yes, Nikon always has done a good job on controls.
Post by mePost by SavageduckI am not a great proponent of TCs. Add a Nikkor 70-300mm VRII to the
24MP D7100 and you will have plenty of crop room. Add the new Tamron
150-600mm VC and you have more reach than you could possibly need.
One has to evaluate specific TC/lens pairs.I find the
TC-14EII behind a first gen 200-400mm f/4 VR to be
fine. Depends what type of birds you want to shoot as
to how much is enough reach.

Now try something with about 1/10th or smaller of that
wingspan in flight.
Well, of course that is a different problem. Still, a
D7100 will be about the best buy in a camera for that
too.
