I think I should have been more specific in the use!
Its not for every day use but for lets say going to the race track and being able to capture NHRA speeds lol!
Or being able to go out in nature and have the proper lenses to zoom and capture the smallest of details.

I was just on that site, and by the looks of it, the 7100 doesn't provide much more then the 5200 so it may be a better option

Well I hope that I can get a professional opinion since I don't know anything about cameras, this is a present for someone that owns a dinosaur for a camera lol

I love my D5100 (older version of D5200) if that helps any. Keep in mind that lenses can be a bit pricey too, so if you want more than what the kit lens is capable of, you might want to factor that in.

Oh I know that the lenses are and can be crazy expensive!
Nathan,if some of the pictures you post on Facebook are from that camera then the 5200 should be perfect!!!

Very easy to use and recommended to me by a premier photographer. He told me the glass is superior to the Cannons lenses. You should be able to get two lenses with the camera for approx. that price. Costco for price and warranty.

The Nikon 5200 would be the way I would go. I have the D5000.

If you're still looking, also check out the Panasonic Lumix, and Sony Nex. They seem to get rave reviews, and 2 co-workers have the Lumix (not sure which model), and they love them. They arent DSLR. If that is what you are wanting then the Nikon that was recommended is a great camera.
There are some really good 3rd party lens makers for the major brands, Nikon, Canon etc. You can look at Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina. Also, depending on your photography skills, I would recommend taking a class. If you buy at a camera shop they will probably offer one for free, look at local continuing education for classes.
