I have the D5100 and the D7100. The image is a bit better than my D5100, but I'm not going to say there is a enough to make the jump for THAT reason. To make my point look through the pictures of Don and his D5100 shots. Through is knowledge, experience, and editing he can really make that camera achieve beyond its ability in my opinion.The real reasons to jump to the D7100 are the direct access to things via buttons rather than menus (which you already have). The 51 point focusing system. Dynamic range is nice. And to your question, the 24 mp allows for a lot of cropping while maintaining a high ppi print ability. What I mean is sometimes I will shoot a picture in landscape, but after seeing it on the computer I decide it looks better cropped as a portrait - I have the versatility. I guess a real question that would help me to make the decision your contemplating is... when was the last time you printed images? Most people I know have never printed their digital images. My wife and I are always printing our images. If you PRINT images then I would say yes, do it. If you don't then skip it and invest in more lenses. A great part of my desire for the D7100 and its megapixels is that I do regularly print large to small poster size prints. Hope this helped in some way.</blockquote>
