Curious Jeremy disregarding pixel counts, dubious in some ways anyway do you see any real advantages of the d7100 over the d7000 ?

No, in fact and I am known for my er............ honest bluntness, I wish I had not bought the 7100 and sold the 7000, as I said 99% of al the sports shots on www.jrs-photography.co.uk are the D7000

There are two main limiting factors with the 7100 for shooting wildlife. The buffer only holds 6 frames inew 14bit NEF format and better highe ISO would be a big plus. The 7200 fixes the buffer issue but it's still unclear whether ISO is improved. Nikon has published some confusing marketing material regarding ISO.

I am not a step away from FF. I shoot both.

I suspect they have based that statement due to a lower ISO image capture having a smaller file size to a higher ISO capture of the same image due to the noise. The noise also varies depending upon the lightness/darkness of an image.

Here's a link to one article that may explain why they have used the criteria in their spec;

Yes, I think the buffer capacity upgrade would be useful to some, even though it may make little difference to others.

That's a good suggestion as to why the ISO might affect shooting rate.
