[QUOTE="nickt, post: 411380, member: 4923"] The d5300 will be an easy learn from your d3100. The d7100 takes more learning but it's great if you want to tweak settings and modes often (like shot to shot changes). If you don't use the camera often, the d5300 menus can be easier to use when you do pick up the camera. If you don't get completely comfortable with the d7100, your fingers can forget what you need to do and you may start fumbling around and lose the advantage of that interface and possibly hate it. For me, I prefer the d7100. The direct controls, top LCD and focus motor are a must-have. Think about what you are after in the upgrade. Are you feeling frustrated with your menu system or are are you fine and comfortable with it? Are you looking for the ability for more quickly jumping around between settings? Are you looking for better image quality? Better low light performance? Tell us what you are looking for so we can nudge you the right way. Both great cameras, they just have a different feel.
