[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 105512, member: 9240"] For me, this is where the line gets drawn that divides those whose ultimate goal - not current goal, but the end-all - is "I want to take really nice pictures" (the D5200 buyer) and "I want to be a really good photographer" (the D7000 buyer). The ergonomics of the D5200 alone lead me to look at it as "that next step after the point and shoot doesn't cut it any more", where the D7000 is like "the gateway drug to that (semi)pro body you want one day". If I REALLY needed a cropped sensor camera today I might, just might be wanting the extra MP's, particularly after reading about some of the dust and focus issues of the D7000 and not wanting to wait for whatever might replace it. But I also have read of potential, similar focus issues with the D5200, so it just makes more sense to me to make that step across the great divide. That said, if it was my niece, or my mother in-law, I know that some of the additional complexities of the 7000 would make their head explode, and that all they want is a nice machine to take good pictures in live view mode.
