So I’ve cashed in on my d3100 and now need to take the plunge into a new body. One of the things I’d like to step up is my birds in flight photography - hence me wanting an increase in focal points and max fps. Ive had a hold of a d7100 and didn’t notice too much on the weight increase, more just that it was built better than the d3100. So I’m leaning towards this option at the moment , but wanted to ask if I’d missed anything obvious in how It scores vs the d7200 - “camera decision” website actually has the d7100 as the winner but doesn’t really elaborate why (possibly just price?)The only other small attributing factor is I may occasionally need the ability to do a self take - as my camera comes fishing with me most trips. I have an actuator bulb release that retrofits any camera, but it’s a lot of faff if I’ve an uncooperative prize in the net and it’s p*ssing down with rain.  So perhaps something that can be remote/IR triggered - plus the benefit of an articulating screen showing that I’m actually in the shot , could be beneficial.I’m still none the wiser on where the d5*** series sits in the range - is it basically a d3*** with an articulated screen?Hoping to get my new toy in the next few days - im really looking forward to it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Thanks again <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🙌🏼" title="Raising hands: medium-light skin tone    :raised_hands_tone2:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f64c-1f3fc.png" data-shortname=":raised_hands_tone2:" /></blockquote>
