[QUOTE="rpoint16, post: 424167, member: 37882"] I have had a digital point & shoot for years & ready to move up to my first DSLR. I had a 35mm Pentax SLR 20+ years ago. I am leaning towards The Nikon (no particular reason) D7100 ($1,200), D5500 ($900), D5300 ($800), D5200 ($700). Prices are for the body only, I will package it withe 2-lenses. This will be used primarily for sailing, travel, skiing. Minimal video. I will be using auto-focus most of the time. I did a comparison on them thru B&H. Most of the features are the same. Obviously there a few more bells & whistles as you move up. The viewfinder eye point is neat on the D7100. I know you usually get what you pay for. I will definatly pay more for example for the D7100 if it is truly a better camera and takes better pics and can do more with it. What other questions should I be asking? Am I on the right track? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
