[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 417569, member: 13090"] Agreed... ^^^ I shot with, and still have, a D7100 and my girlfriend shoots with a D5300. Image quality is indistinguishable between the two but if you're in this price-range, I'd tell you to skip the D7000 and get the D7100. The D5300 would be right behind it, though. My girlfriend shoots with one and has for a while now. It's a real "wolf in sheeps" clothing and in my opinion hits the price/performance "sweet spot". The main difference is features; the D7100 has a lot of nice stuff like the built-focus motor, the weather sealing and the sturdier magnesium-alloy build. It also has a lot more external controls that will save you doing a lot of menu-diving, the dual-command wheels and the top-mounted LCD.
