[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 548131, member: 24285"] Moving on up is always fun. The D7200 (or D7100 if you want to save a penny) is a super camera and will take you to the next level in photo-fun. The D5500 has that awesome flip screen. I have a D5100 with that same screen and it is marvelous. Both are great cameras and either is a worthy upgrade. One big difference to consider - the D7XXX series have a lens motor in the camera body unlike the D3XXX and D5XXX series. This opens up a whole new world of great vintage glass. All the AF-D series of lenses are now Autofocus on a your new D7200. I have a few of these and wish I could use them on my D5100 (well technically I can, they fit and work, they just don't autofocus). I have a AF-D 105 macro for example, wonderful lens. Most of these may be FX lenses but will work just fine on a DX camera. It is the other way around that can be a challenge (DX lens on FX body). And who knows someday you may want to upgrade to FX - or not. But something to consider. [/QUOTE]
