I am new to this forum, specifically to try and get some feedback on a particular question. I bought a D3200 a little over a year ago because I was completely frustrated with point-and-shoot cameras. I absolutely LOVE the change I made! So much so, I am considering upgrading the camera.
I have no professional or semi-professional aspirations. My main interests are my fast-moving young children and their fast-moving friends, my friends and family and landscapes. I use a Tamron 18-270mm as my "most of the time" lens, a Nikon 35mm f1.8 prime at times as well as a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle.
I have been considering moving to a D5200 or D5300 or possibly a D7100. Is the moderate investment in a D5200 or D5300 worth it? Is an upgrade to a D7100 with the "more robust" investment worth thinking about?
Here's a little more in case it helps. I never use the guide mode on the D3200. I ony shoot in RAW and use Lightroom for processing. I have had what I percieve to be some minor focusing issues with the D3200 in "busy" shots. For example, on a recent hike on a wooded trail, the camera often wanted to focus on the trees instead of my kids. (Maybe I need to get used to manual focusing but I doubt my wife will ever want to do that).
Thanks for your time and your help!
