Hi. I've had my D3100 for several years now and it's getting due for an imminent upgrade. As a keen novice I like to take pictures wherever I go but particularly of wildlife, cars and occasionally motorsport. None of my friends have a DSLR so it often ends up down to me to take the pictures when we go places. There's kind of an expectation that nobody needs to bother because I'll be taking my "big camera". But that's fine by me. I take each situation as a new challenge and usually end up with a few of what everyone (who exclusively take pictures with their phones) tells me are "great pictures".
It's my 50th birthday soon and I'm unsure what sort of upgrade I should go for. It would be nice to be able to use my existing lenses which thus far comprise of a Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G, Nikon AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR and the original 18-55mm VR kit lens.
Budget does play a part in my decision hence the want to keep my existing lenses. This will be a take anywhere camera and I've got a bag and tripod alreay sorted.
Two Nikons that seem to have decent reviews are the D5500 and the D7200.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.
TIA
