[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 325985, member: 12257"] The D7100 is a FANTASTIC choice (although I'm a bit biased) just because of the ease of changing settings (a little more "pro" on the control side), lens choices, and the autofocus fine tuning, but it really depends on what you want in a camera. The 5300 has a flip out screen and a bit better low light performance (only about .1 stops difference though), as well as the built in GPS/wireless, but ya get a better viewfinder on the D7100, more focus points, the back up SD slot and a build-in focus motor so you can buy some of the cheaper used AF lenses instead of having to specifically watch for AF-S. Plus, its weather sealing will help keep ya safe if you happen to get caught out in a sprinkle. :) Both take amazing photos, to be sure, just remember... I AM biased, as I love the [I]primal beast[/I] being the D7100. There are [I]rumours[/I] that a D7200 or 9300 are going to be announced late this summer, too, but I'm sure the cost will be higher on those. [/QUOTE]
