[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 528043, member: 25095"] I'm late to the thread, but was in a similar situation two years ago after buying the D5300. First off, I admit I have a HUGE craving for a D5. It's like dreaming about having a Ferrari in the garage, I can't justify why I need it and not real sure I could handle it, but the ego would be happy. :) I ended up going from the D5300 to the D7100 for durability reasons. I started keeping a list of things I was running into the the D5300 ... trying to shoot in manual without dual command knobs, slower flash sync speed, no Commander mode, no HSS ... etc. The two big pro's for the D5300 for me weren't working out real well either (GPS and Wifi), so that also helped in the decision. It's a different set of criteria with the D5500 and D7200, but ultimately the D7200 will get you more prosumer features while still giving you best results with your current glass. After I got into the D7100, then I started migrating to better glass that was also FX for future body changes, but at the time just jumping from DX to FX body and all would not have been feasible. Just my $0.02 worth. [/QUOTE]
