Nikon D7100

Nikon D7100 Ups

1080p HD video with full AF during recording High sensitivity (images probably full yusable up to ISO 3200)

Nikon D7100 Downs

The buffer for continuous shooting is really too limited: 5 pictures in Raw. This is totally unacceptable for most cases of sports and wildlife photo. Continuous shooting slows down by 1 fps when you start using RAW format Will the lack of the Low-Pass filter in front of the sensor create issues with moiré (even if the D800e sensor seems to show that this is a non-issue on big sensors)? Is the D7100 a replacement for the D7000 or is it also the last nail on the coffin of the D300s? The D400 will probably exist later in 2013.
