[QUOTE="nickt, post: 571946, member: 4923"] Image specs aside, the thing to think about FIRST (in my opinion) is the user interface. D3xxx, d5xxx have a menu driven interface with the higher models having more features. D7xxx is more direct buttons and top lcd and front/rear command wheels. I would iron out that decision first, then decide on final specs. Some like the menu driven system, some don't. The menus can be awkward if you are in a hurry or changing a lot or out in the bright sun. On the other hand, the direct buttons on the d7xxx can be confusing unless you make an effort to learn your camera so it becomes second nature. People will pull you in one direction or another, but you really need to sort out which user interface is for you. Download the manuals and flip through them. If you can't try in person, find some youtube tutorials to see the cameras being handled. [/QUOTE]
