[QUOTE="BeegRhob, post: 743757, member: 48712"] I started with a D3000, which is similar to the D3100. I own a D5300 and love it! It is about the same as a D5600 and cheaper. I have been reading articles and comparisons for different cameras to figure out which ones I wanted, and looked within what I wanted to spend. They both have the fully articulating screens, to get shots from the ground without laying on the ground, if needed. One thing I really was looking for was auto exposure bracketing, for HDR photography. Not sure if the D5600 has it, by the way. I recently bought a D610, a "full frame" camera. The lenses are all interchangable, but they work differently. Using the 610, there is an outline where the pic will be taken, not from the whole picture that you see. Not sure of the correct words to use for what I just said. The lens worked just fine, but I had to be aware more of what I was looking at.So the 3000, 5000, and 7000 "series" all use non full frame lenses, so nothing to worry about there with your lenses, if that is what you end up getting. I have bought most of my recent cameras from ebay and facebook marketplace, successfully. The 610 was through fb marketplace but was a camera shop/studio. As far as warranties, my personal preference is to never buy them, but have never needed the accidental coverage. Read reviews on the company that BB uses at the very least. What I have read about warranties, the "experts" mostly advise against the added expense. Rob [/QUOTE]
