So I had a few more hours on this last check than usual. Which means it was a wee bit larger than usual. Which means in the end that, yep, I have yet another camera coming :)

I am quite happy with the pictures from my D3200 but wanted a little more ease of handling manual focus and AF/AF-D type autofocus lenses as well as two dials for use in manual mode. It and the D7200 are the best two DX bodies Nikon made (with the newest D7500 being a down grade) and for me the slightly older and significantly cheaper D7100 is the better value.

Photography has quickly become my best way of dealing with the social distancing and stay at home other than work so I consider it a good to spend the money for the best that I can swing. It’s certainly easier on my liver!

Next to keep an eye open for an affordable AF 20/2.8 as it makes a nice nearly 28mm on (~30 actually) on the DX sensor.
