I own both the 5100 and 7000, and so unless you are wanting to use the older glass, I am not sure what you will gain over the very fine 5100. as far as value:Used 5100 -> around 400 or so dollars18-55 lens -> around 80 dollars (but I would keep this lens for the 7000, very sharp and handy).So,, again decide if the upgrade is worth it,.</blockquote>
