So, my Olympus gear is gone and I need to replace it with something new.

I've got £700 burning a hole in my pocket now for a new camera.

As much as I'd like a D7100 they are still too pricey, and I don't really want to buy a used one.

What do you reckon to the D5200 or the D7000?

The 5200 has the 24mp sensor and the 7000 has to make do with 'only' 16mp.

Has anyone got any experience of either of these?

I can get the D7000 with the 18-105VR lens for £649, and I'd probably push the boat out and get a 50mm f1.8 to go with it.

The 5200 is available with the 18-55VR lens for £485 but you can claim back £50 from Nikon meaning it comes in at around £200 less than the D7000.

Penny for your thoughts?
