I like the 7100, it has enough functions and its powerful enough to keep me learning and exploring for years to come. I had a 5100 before and enjoy this much more. Don't have any experience with the 70D.
Picked up a new Manfrotto Advanced Backpack today. I've been wanting this thing for awhile now, finally got enough money saved up and bought it. Regular price of $129.99, but has a $20 mail-n-rebate, plus I had a $10 gift card.
Cool, yea would've been sweet to have with you. I guess just pm me, with your details, and ill give you my paypal. If you want to wait till after you come back, just lmk.
Hoping to upgrade to full frame soon when 5DMK2 prices drop, I also dabble in landscapes and stuff, but I haven't really cared for exploration recently. Just too busy. Here's where I live though. Seattle Sunrise by DHY Photography, on Flickr
