The D5100 has shares the same sensor, but you will not have the "autofocus" for older lenses if that is something that appeals to you. I just went ahead and purchased the D7k when I switched to Nikon ad I don't regret it one bit. I can't tell you how to spend your money, but my vote is for the D7k. It's a camera you will have for years and eventually when you want to upgrade from that it will serve as an excellent back up body.</p></blockquote><p></p>
