[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 76387, member: 9237"] The 7000 is a indeed a step up. I just sold my 5100 and kit lens for a d7k body. That said, I have to agree with Cnyram. What do you need your camera to do that it can't do at the moment? I agree that glass pretty much trumps all. Bodies come and go. But glass retains and sometimes accrues value later in it's life. It'll see you through as long as you buy the right glass to fit your needs NOW. The D7k and the 5100 are the SAME as far as the sensor technology and many other things. I would sell the 70-300 regardless and go with a 50mm 1.8g if it were me, though. Even the money could be put towards other things. Off camera flash, maybe? Better filters? Memory cards?
