I am looking into buying a new Nikon Camera for my TL/HL Hobby! For the past 5 years i have been shooting with my Nikon D90, but i guess it's Time for a newer model.

I have been looking into getting a Nikon D610 or D810 but have decided to stick with a "Crop-Sensor DX-Format" Camera as the full-frame is just to expencive (not to think of the cost of a new full-frame lens).

So i have been looking at the D7100 and the D5300 but i have not decides yet - maby some of you can give me some pointers which way to go (both have the same sensor).

things i like about the

D7100:
- bigger body, better quality
- 1.3x crop
- Live View
- Virtual horizon

D5300:
- WLAN
- vari-Angle LCD monitor
- smaller
- GPS

I like the WLAN & Vari-Angle LCD Monitor with the D5300 (good for HL) - but i also like the 1.3x crop with the D7100.

Any tipps to make my decision easier?

also - what lens can you recommen? i'm looking into getting a 10mm?

looking forward to your "decision-help;-)

Hi Aled,
just my personal thinking: WiFi and a Swivel Display are great asset for time lapse. The sensor is the same. I'd go for the 5300 ;-)
