[QUOTE="hark, post: 668897, member: 13196"] I never tried a D5x00 series so am not sure how limiting those are compared with the D7x00 series. The D7200 has 2 card slots so be sure to use both either as backup or RAW+jpeg. Always use the second slot for some type of backup though rather than overflow. And keep extra cards on hand. The U1 and U2 modes are for you to set specific settings that can be dialed in quickly. For example, if you usually shoot with the shutter actuation button doing both the focusing as well as activating the shutter, you have the option to set the body for BBF (back button focus). That means a button on the back of the body will focus the images while the shutter button serves only to take the pic. You can set it to work that way all the time, or program the body to store those settings in either U1 or U2. My bodies are set for the shutter actuation button to both focus and take the pics, but U1 and U2 are programmed for BBF (one in Aperture Priority and the other Manual Mode). Be sure to read the manual. The buttons and wheels allow quick setting changes instead of having to go through the menus. And that's one huge advantage over the D3x00 and D5x00 series. Other than that, I really don't know what options weren't available to you with your D5100. Good luck and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
