[QUOTE="GoMario, post: 571781, member: 42523"] Ok, I am new to this forum (and fotography in general). But I am old when it comes to computer programming, microprocessors, firmware . . . I too had the very same question (3-4 months ago). And I too ended up looking at this 2 cameras after weeks of check outs and comparisons :) One thing I have noticed was: The 7100 and 5300 have more in common than one thinks. Especially on the "inside". So much so that you can safely flush the 7100 firmware into a 5300 and unlock the processor to its full potential. And no, the D5300 is not a real "sheep in wolf's clothing". Actually, it is the exact opposite! It is a real wolf in sheep's clothing :D Yes I agree, you still have to fiddle around more to get to the settings you want but the 5300 will get you there. Needles to say - I love my 5300 . . .
