    Boughta D5100, keep it or get a D7000?

    So I bought a Nikon D5100 as my first DSLR. I love it, but I got to hold and "feel" a D7000 a few days ago and it definitely feels better in my hands than the D5100. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and spend the extra dough and exchange my camera for the D7000. Wise decision? The...
