Hi all,

I have been using a D5100, and I have been happy, but I am also looking to take advantage of some of the newer technology (hopefully) and upgrade within the next year.

It is my understanding, that if the cycle stays as it has been, that there should be a D5700 in 2017. Can anyone confirm this?
I don't find anything in a general google search.

I know that the D5600 just came out, but I don't think that was a true upgrade like we have seen when going from D5100, to D5300, to D5500.

If it is not expected to come, then I probably would just buy the D5500.

Thanks!
Juggernaut.
 
I wouldn't expect so. And if it does, it'll be at the year-end.

But with the improvements from one model upgrade to the next being increasingly insignificant, I can't see why anyone would wait for the next increment rather than just buying a D5500 or D5600 today.

I understand you have a camera that's currently functional, if a tiny bit out outdated. If you want an upgrade that you'll really notice, a great big jump in overall quality and features rather than a small increase in performance, buy the D7200. :D
 
With the D5600 just announced but not introduced into the USA yet. Watch for any announcement at CES if D5600 released into US by spring? This would push a D5700 into later in 2017 if not 2018. Only Nikon knows for sure.

You could trade for D5500 if you do video & want to try the new AF-P lens series. Other wise stay with what you have.
 
The D5700 should appear in late 2018 or early 2019.

I hope for a Nikon D7300 in 2017?:-P
 
The last real upgrade n the D5x00 series was the D5300. The D5400, D5500 and D5600 added a few features around network access, and lost a couple. I doubt that even if the D5700 came out it could have anything super.

As far as I can see the only significant upgrade in Nikon last year was the introduction of significantly improved AF in the D5 and D500. I doubt if you'll see that in the D5x00 series for quite a while.

There was never a D5400 :)

Hi,

I was in the same situation as you, but I wanted more then only the better IQ of the newer D5300 or touchscreen interface of the D5500.

The D7200 is a mature product at an interesting price and will stay so for some time.

I just upgraded from D5100 to D7200+18-140 lens ( nikon rebate €100 ! ) for the better sensor and AF system and also for the extra possibilities the D7xxx series bring with them.

I will keep the D5100 ( which I like a lot ).

I use the D7200 in AF-S mode and the 52 focuspoints are a revelation, as is the OVF and focus system. The D7200 is very responsive and a joy to use. A big step up from the D5100. Also U1 and U2 modes are useful.

I don't mind the extra weight , on the contrary, it is a stabilisation and feels comfortable when handheld shooting.

I miss the flip screen for overhead and other types of shots.

I don't want to talk you out of your choice for the D5xxx series, but unless you know why you want to stay with the D5x00 series ( video -> flip screen ? ) maybe this is the moment to contemplate a bit more about your upgrade before deciding ?

Greetings,
Marc

+1 to what Marc said.

I don't expect 5700 in 2017. And I don't expect it to be significantly improved over 5600.

If you have specific reasons, consider 5600 or 7100/7200 today. If you don't need the NFC+Bluetooth/Etc. in the 5600, then 5500 is just as good.

All the best.
 
I would expect the D5700 to be announced in 2018 at the earliest.

By then, the Expeed 5 processor should be in volume production and might find its way into mainstream Nikon cameras.

If I was you, I will wait until the D5600 is available and then look for discounted D5500s to buy.

Hi Marc. Thank you for the feedback.

The D5500 has the same sensor as the D7200, right? Just has fewer focus points (39 vs 52)?

Really the only reason I prefer the D5500 is due to the flip screen - it lets me get shots I could never get with a fixed screen - I regretted it the last time I bought a camera without a flip screen.

I also would consider the D7200 to fine tune the focus of the lenses - however after reading how the focus of the lenses changes depending on the type of lighting for many of the nikon prime lenses, I am not sure if the fine tuning would be as helpful as I had previously expected.

Thanks!

I thought the D5500 was a nice upgrade in terms of handling from the D5300 (same IQ). Better grip / touch screen. D5600 looks like nothing of consequence to me.
 
What do you shoot that requires a flip screen? Just curious.

Nah the D7200 uses a Toshiba sensor and the D5300/D5500/D5600 use a Sony. You won't really notice a difference in IQ though. The D7200 sensor has larger dynamic range and the D5300 and up are slightly better in lower light according to some (I haven't noticed much of a difference)

The D7XXX series however have a raft of other features that might interest you in the long run. Depends on what you want from the camera in relation to its worth to you.

I find that shooting with the D7200 is a dream and just 'gets out of the way' when out in the field. Having everything at your fingertips is so much easier than flicking through menus.

For me, it's working close to the ground or holding the camera up high.

Moving from a D5000 to a D7100 took some adjusting. After several months the only thing I really still miss is the flip screen.

Right, but what are your subjects? I see it working for something fairly stationary. For moving subjects, live view is so slow on these D5x00 bodies, that I can't imagine it being very useful.
 
Same I would like a 7200 update 4k and at least touch screen (even if it doesn't swivel).

What I would LOVE is a crippled full featured camera you could unlock with feature purchases ;) Its a waste of resources to keep replacing cameras with no real upgrades!

You're right, it's not great. But a swivel screen and LiveView beats standing on a ladder when the camera's at the highest tripod setting. :)

On the ground, flowers in the garden mostly. Or shooting indoors with the camera flat on a table top.

I don't think it's about upgrades necessarily, as options. Different sets of features that might attract a few new customers with slightly different needs.

Staying up-to-date with connectivity features (for example) should be a top priority of Nikon with the consumer-grade DSLR models, even if it means releasing new models that don't necessarily take better photos.
