[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 550344, member: 27017"] I will add that I have both the cameras being talked about here: the D5300 and the D7100. I started with the D5300 and it is a great camera. A special came along on Refurbished D7100's and I took advantage of that. Quality of photos compare pretty closely from each camera. I do like the articulating LCD on the D5300 as it makes it much easier for an old man like me to get it into positions for that awkward shot and see what I am shooting. The D7100 is what I carry most of the time because I really like the settings control system--External wheels and buttons that the D5300 doesn't have. Now that I have the D7100 I find that it is not as convenient to change settings on the D5300 in the menu driven system. The D7100 does have more bells and whistles to ie the ability to set User Defined settings that can be quickly accessed is just one. If you think you might like to jump to the D7100, consider the factory refurbished ones too. Mine had less that ten shutter actuations (if I remember correctly), so it was basically a new camera and I paid less for it than the D5300 body. [/QUOTE]
