Dear Sirs;
Thank you very much for your comparison D7100 and D7000. I would like to ask a question. The buffer size of D7100 a little bit slower than D7000. D7000 is handling 10 frames lossless 14 bit RAW but D7100 is only 6 frames. For 12 bit compressed RAW D7000 capture 15 frames but D7100 is only 9. What did you think about this issue.
Best Regards,
Ümit
Any trade-in deals?

May be due to – Artificially restricted low buffer size in the D7100 OR due to 24 Mp high res sensor.
Nikon D7100 uses limited burst speed + old D300 AF system, it make a clear room for D8000 OR D9000 announcement in 2015/16.
