[QUOTE="bluzman, post: 793328, member: 47800"] As can be seen from my signature, I own most of the DX cameras that others have mentioned. A check of MPB's UK website shows a host of lightly used, low shutter count bodies are available for less than £250. As expected, the price jumps to around £450 when looking at their inventory of low shutter count D5600 bodies in GOOD (vs EXCELLENT) condition. As for the D7200, even heavily used, very high shutter count items are around £300 and that number escalates quickly for units in better shape and less used. You don't indicate that you photograph fast moving subjects (e.g., BIFs, sports) so a higher frame rate than a D3XXX/D5XXX (5 fps) doesn't seem worth stretching the budget to a D7XXX body. I'd recommend a D5600 if you can find the budget. That would give you a larger MP sensor and version of the processor (Expeed 4 vs 2), a touch sensitive articulating screen, better battery life, lighter weight, wider ISO range camera than the D3100. If a D5600 isn't possible, the D3400 (same sensor and processor as D5600) would be a nice upgrade IMO. [/QUOTE]
