What advantages did you like from the 5100 ?
Congrats on the newer camera

I had the D3200 and D5200 myself and when i got the D7100 the build quality was in a different league, and the amount of physical controls and settings and af system is much better.

The differences to me so far is the speed and the controls. Still learning though

OP - did you use the movable screen on the 5100 and if so, do you miss it with the 7100?

I too went from a D5100 to a D7100 recently. Kept the D5100 as a backup and for my wife to learn on. She has a good eye. I can say I do kinda miss the swivel screen when I'm trying to get super low to get my daughters' perspective, but I can overlook that with all the controls on the camera itself that i can adjust on the fly.

I bought a 7100 just before Xmas and it really is a fantastic piece of gear.

Also bought a Yongnuo speedlight with it, so trying to learn about flash photography at the same time. Information overload!

and sometimes information overload is a good thing

I also went from the 5100 to the 7100 and I definitely miss the screen. You never realize how useful it is until it's gone. I still make due without it by using the live view, putting the camera in position, then switching back to regular view and firing. It's still not as effective as the screen but it works.

I think I will miss it too much to give it up. I will probably trade up to a 5300 instead of the 7100 when the time comes. I want the wifi and extra mps but don't necessarily have any issues with the 5100 at this point so it is nothing imminent.

You can always go with te D750, got the tilty screen and killer low light performance
