[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 576339, member: 13090"] Tough call between the D5300 and the D7100. Neither have an OLPF (which is a very good thing) and both have very good AF-systems though the D7100 is the clear winner when it comes to focusing in low-light. The D5300 holds it own here, but the D7100 is clearly better at it. The SNR is identical between the two sensors but the D7100 has a little bit higher dynamic range at high ISO, which translates into better color retention and lower shadow noise. Still, I think you'd have a hard time determining which camera took the shot, all things being equal and if you shoot raw good post-processing can be a big equalizer. My girlfriend shoots with a D5300 and when I shoot DX it's with a D7100 so I've seen plenty of work done with both bodies under identical situations. The D5300 never ceases to amaze me; I call it Nikon's "wolf in sheep's clothing". That being said, I do get frustrated with the lack of external controls on the D5300 when compared to my D7100 and if you want to be able to shoot the often less expensive Nikon "D" glass, the D7100 has a focus motor so you won't lose AF when using those lenses. If "D" variant glass isn't a big deal to you, the absence of a AF-motor probably isn't either. Decisions, decisions! [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
