I think what I want most from the D7100 are its better ISO capabilities and superior auto focus. I feel these two things hold me back most with my D3200 as wildlife and birds are my main interests. For landscapes and macro they won't make much difference. I also want the in built focus motor and ability to meter with AIS lenses. This would open up a whole range of more affordable but still very good glass to me, such as the 300mm f/4D which won't autofocus with my D3200 so isn't much good for action.In terms of glass I would want, an improvement on my 70-300 and a wide zoom or prime to replace my non VR 18-55 kit lens. Right now for landscapes I'd go to my 35mm which often isn't wide enough, or my 18-55mm which isn't the best lens either. Will get a circular polariser and possibly some grad ND filters, so that should help image results a bit hopefully.To get an auto focusing 300mm prime set up on my D3200 would cost me £1600 for the new version on amazon. For that I could buy a D7100, 300 f/4 D and a 1.4x teleconvertor. Or a D7100 and a Tamron 150-600 or similar. I don't have that to spend right now unfortunately, so it would seem to make sense to get the D7100 first and see a slight improvement right now with the lenses I've got. But I really don't know.......?</blockquote>
