Hi all Newbie to the site here
Have been using a D5300 a while (Nikon lenses 1.8 35 prime, 18-140 , 55-300)
( also Sony rx100 111 , Olympus tough and Panasonic Tz 80 for travelling light)
Interested in all types of photography. Solely a hobbyist - Not quite a beginner but certainly not advanced.
I am thinking of buying a used 7200 body that I can use with existing lenses.
I shoot mainly raw and post process lightroom.
Main reason is I want to get more adapt at full manual mode and have the buttons to hand and I find the 5300 a little frustrating having to dig into menus. I see other advantages - dual card slots etc. I could see me moving between the two bodies depending on the nature of the shoot and whether I am lugging the equipment round or not.
I don't think I need to move to full frame which would mean selling lenses and starting again I think . D500 a bit pricey. Could possibly settle for a used D7100 I guess.
Your thoughts on this next considered move - or alternatives- appreciated!
Many thanks
