The in-camera crop feature, like digital zoom, is a gimmick, you get the same result by cropping your picture when editing if necessary.
Only you can decide if "it is worth upgrading". I don't know what the UK prices would be, but I'm pretty sure they are higher than in the US. Here, the D7100 is about $1100. Perhaps you could sell your D7000 for $500-600, so it is a net cost of $500-600. Instead, you could buy a Nikon 85mm f/1.8 lens for $500, and your low-light pictures would improve more than they would with the D7100 upgrade.

The closer the pixels, the more crosstalk there is between them, ie noise.
There are several ways to get around this problem, however as a rule, the larger the sensor, the larger the pixels, and the larger the pixels, the less noise you'll have due to electrical and or optical crosstalk.

The sensor sizes are different, the D600 is FX and the D7100/D7000 are DX.
Hey Larry. I owned D5100 before getting the D7100. Love the camera. Have used the 1.3 crop feature a couple of times. I personally don't see any advantage. It's kind of like taking a normal photograph and cropping it. What's the difference if you do it in camera or on computer. I used it on sigma 70-200mm lens shooting indoor college volleyball. I just had to be more careful to get the shot within the smaller cropped window in the view finder. Just my opinion and I am really new at digital photography.

I'm floored.. I didn't realize that the image is closer with a DX vs a FX with all things being equal. I shot two pictures of the same subject from a tripod and I expected the crop to be narrower but I didn't expect to see magnification in the image.

Yep. You are looking at a portion of the view as seen on full frame sensor with a crop sensor camera.

got a D7200 which is very nice. I was ready to pull the trigger on a used or refurbished D7100 and the new body came out in the knick of time after what seemed a lifetime of rumors. You can get a refurbished D7100 these days for $500 and up, I'm toying with the idea for a second body since it uses the same spare batteries I have and my lenses. I think you'll be glad you made the move from the D7000, more megapixels, better low light performance and better continuous speed shooting, if that's important to you. Good luck!

I am toying with the idea of part exchanging my D7000 for the D7100 because the reviews indicate a much sharper and better quality image with the D7100 and the 1.3 crop feature would give me a slightly better advantage when zooming in with my 70-300mm lens.
So I was wondering if any members have experience with both of these cameras and could advise me whether or not it is worth upgrading.

I own, or have owned until recent, all three of the D7000, 7100 and now 7200, each is a worthy step up.
I likely would not have upgraded from my 7100 to 7200 had I not dropped and broke my 7100, but I am glad I did, as the new sensor is much better for lacking that ugly pattern noise that came with areas a bit under exposed. Otherwise the 7100 was awesome, and I love them both far more than I did my D7000.
I am keeping my new 7200 along with my newer D810 but sold the other two, but I would have kept the 7100 and 7200 had I not came into an unexpected wad of cash that allowed me my dream upgrade along with two thirds the trinity lenses.
Anyway, you might just jump to the 7200, but for cheaper you will still be happier with the 7100

I have no doubt that the 300mm f4 is better glass than the 28-300mm. The 28-300, however, is useful primarily for it's flexibility....put it on your camera and never need to take it off. However, on my most recent vacation to Santa Fe and Taos, that applied to my 24-70 f2.8. Every Nikon crop sensor camera shooter needs to have the 28-300mm. To get into better glass, my first suggestion would be the 24-70mm f2.8, after that the 70-200mm f2.8 and then the 300mm f4. Another serious lens to consider would be the 85mm f4, for another prime.

I think you missed the point.
Folk are making suggestions based on a debate that is 25 months old.
Doubtless the decision was made LONG ago......

I am aware that the ones making suggestions to the OP may have missed the fact it's an old question/thread.
I still stand by my statement.
