[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 509382, member: 27017"] Thanks Don for the response. I usually don't buy extended warranties at all, but I usually have bought new. I don't feel that a little over a $1/month is too much if the company is good and takes care of the camera. I don't want to buy the warranty if it is a hassle to get the coverage when needed. Ha! Now back to the cameras.. The D5300 vs the D7100. I have been looking at comparison reviews and see that in some area the D5300 comes out on top and in others the D7100 comes out on top. It is kind of a tough (for me) decision if I can justify $500 for another camera. [USER=25095]@RocketCowboy[/USER] you have both. What are your thoughts? Here are some of my thoughts on the issue (only posting to see them in writing. Ha). I like the articulating screen on the D5300, even though I don't use it much, it comes in handy at times.
