I've had my D7100 for a week and I love it. Getting more familiar with it each day. I have two other Nikons, a D5100 and my trusty old D200. I have room in my bag for two cameras with lenses, so I put the D200 into semi-retirement. I really like that D200 and wonder if I should put it in the bag next to the D7100 instead of the D5100. What would you do? No, I'm not buying a three camera bag.
I would keep the D200. The D5100 is not going to give you any utility that you will not get from the D7100. The D200, being a mid-range camera rather than an entry level, will have features that will be useful, even in contrast to the D7100. I would not worry about the lower resolution, since many shots will be perfectly fine with this "deficiency"... Good shooting!!
