[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 568268, member: 6277"] The two lenses you have are probably your weak link if you move up to a new DX camera. I had those two when I moved from the D5100 to the D7100. The shots actually looked better on the D5100. I upgraded to better glass and the results on the D7100 were so much better with the upgraded glass. The D7100/D7200 has a lot of advantages over the D3#00 series like better access to change settings and one I really like is the weather sealing. I did not worry about getting caught out in the rain with my D7100. (Not water proof but weather resistant) I also like being able to change settings without having to dig into the menu system for everything. I shot in Zion, Bryce, Red Canyon, Canyonlands, Arches and the Grand Canyon September 2015 with my D7100. For that trip I used my Tokina 11-16 a lot. You really need a wide angle for those areas. If you want to see a lot of these photos you can see them on my Facebook page at [url]https://www.facebook.com/dkuykendall/photos_albums[/url]. That will give you a real world look at that camera. Lenses used would be the Nikon 18-140, Nikon 70-300 and the Tokina 11-16 [/QUOTE]
