Earlier this month I decided it was to time to upgrade my Nikon system .  I was fortunate to be able to sell my Nikon D5000 camera with 55-200mm lens and my Sony NEX-5 mirrorless camera body to offset the cost of another system.  (just following the rules set down by my wife...sell something old to buy something new) LOL!  I found a Nikon manufactured refurbished D7100 body at an extremely low price compared to a new one. Over the years I've had good luck with refurbished equipment and feel confident this one will last a good while.  However, just to be on the safe side I purchased an additional warranty plan.  Why didn't I go with the latest model D7200?  Well, for the price difference of nearly 2 times the cost of the refurbished D7100, the additional features of Wi-Fi and a few other minor features, I couldn't justify the D7200.  Added to the mix was the purchase of a Tamron, 18 - 200 mm lens that was available at the DFW Photo Expo in late November with a Expo discount.  Here are a couple of examples shot with this setup a couple of weeks ago.  CLICK on images for larger view.
