I can only speak for myself, so if you think I'm right, it's fine. If you don't think I'm right, it's still fine.The most benefit you would get from a high end model would be controls and, in the case of the 7100 to 3200, the ability with the 7100 to use previous models of Nikon auto-focus lenses. A while ago, when first auto-focus lenses came out, the focus was made by a motor inside the camera which is coupled to the lens by a screw. Lower newer Nikon models 3xxx,5xxx series don't have the in-camera focus motor and screw assembly. So, there is a question of available lenses that will auto-focus. You get more choice with the D-70, 80, 90, 200, x00 and above 7000 models.Then, there is the question of controls. With the 70, 80, 90, x00, and above 7000 models, you get a two wheel control where you don't have to go through the menus to change your shooting settings. You can change almost every shooting settings without removing your eyes from the viewfinder PLUS, you have an LCD panel on top of the camera that will show your shooting info.Besides that, I think sensors might be about the same (depending on the age of the camera of course), for the same number of MPs.Then there is supposed to be a little more weather proofing in the higher models as well. What does that mean exactly is kind of hard to judge since you only find out about weather proofing when the camera fails. You then know you've gone too far. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Hope this helps a bit.</blockquote>
