I'm assuming some or all of your current lenses are DX. FWIW, I went from a DX d3400 to a full frame Z5. I didn't see a huge jump in resolution. It's better, and there are other benefits, but it's not like going from 35mm to 2 1/4. I still have my D3400 and my daughter has a D5600. There are definitely some nice features the 5600 has that the 3400 doesn't. Auto bracketing for one. Touch screen for another. More focusing points is another, although the 3400 does a decent job. I can't comment on the more "advanced" DX bodies, as I have had no experience with them. I believe you are going to have to move "up" to something higher in the line for more fps. The 5600 is roughly the same fps as the 3400.Note, after looking at specs for the 3100 I see that it has a substantially lower MP sensor, and slower frames per second than the D3400. Perhaps you might consider one of those if the right deal comes along. It is a capable camera, but the 5600 would be my preference. The 3400 would be an upgrade in several areas. Not the least is nearly doubling your MP rating.As I have said several times here, the bottom line is that it's more about your ability than your gear. I would also comment that you might want to rethink post processing. Even back in the film days, there were tweaks and enhancements to be had in the darkroom after the image was captured. Many of the camera settings are just presets of what is done with much more control in post processing. I understand and respect doing things your own way. Trying to get the best image possible in the camera, rather than relying on "fixing" in Lightroom is a good thing, even if you are going to process it later anyway. In the end it's about the image, not necessarily how you got there.</blockquote>
