To be honest, I don't think the word "upgrade" truly applies when going from a D5100 to a D7000, they both share the same sensor and processor and only differ on the body construction and a few additional abilities that the D7000 has over the D5100. If you look around here, some of the best photos on this site are from D5100's, so there's very little lacking in a D5100 compared to the D7000. I would contend the real upgrade would be a D600. Or if you have a 6 to 8 month window, why not wait for the next new Nikon DXX? The D7000 is nearly 2 yrs old and given the pace of price reductions, I'd say it's a near certainty it will be replaced with a D-something in the near future.</blockquote>
