Has anyone upgraded from a D5100 to the D7100?

Would you share your overall opinion based on your experience? Other than better control access and weather sealing, how much improvement, if any, in the image quality? I looked in the archives and didn't find any previous topic discussions for this (maybe I missed it). Thanks,

I'm also considering an upgrade at some point to a D7100, it's successor or going full frame, maybe a D750 if I win the lottery. My understanding is that the 24MP sensor is about the same, will get a little faster continuous shooting, 2 SD Card slots, the ability to adjust the autofocus for each lens and the weather sealing along with easier controls. Just wish it had the articulated LCD, I really like that for weird angle shots. There's just been about $100 price drop on the D7100 and there are rumors a new model will be out in January. Decisions, decisions... I'm interested in answers to this post as well.

Yep, I feel exactly like you do.

Same here as well.
Thinking if I should just bite the bullet and save for a D750 or a D610 in the minimum.

Thought about that myself, but I haven't convinced myself that I really need a full frame camera yet.

Go for it. D6x0's are nice.

Agree, Harder to change... since the move from DX to FX means full change of lenses.
I do not have many units of "expensive glass" in DX format. (mostly Zoom with variable) but I have what covers most of my needs.
Still, to get from Zero to FX (including the body plus glass is costly).

Luckily I bought the 70-300 VRII to use on my 5100, knowing that I can use it on an FX if/when I buy one. My only other lens is the 18-55 DX kit lens (which is an okay lens). I don't own any "expensive" glass yet.

I unfortunately own pure DX lenses.
the 18-55mm kit, a 50-300mm zoom from Nikon.
and a Tokina 11-16mm VR II (for DX).

If I stay with DX, that Tokina is my next lens. How do you like it?

I love it, It lets me take very wide shots. (for a DX camera of course)
Note that I am in no way a pro photographer.
Most of my photos are mostly "opportunity" shots.

I'm going to guess/hope that the 1st one is the D7100, but they are very very close to each other. Am I right?
