well i have a d7100 and its a great camera.

spec wise both performance comes up almost the same.

depending on your needs later on, the D7100 is equipped with build in autofocus motor which means its compatible with the entire range of old nikon lens.

D7100 offers more towards professional user experience and weather sealed compare to say, a D5500.

Im not sure but when i hold a D7100 it feels like the build quality is better than D5500 (doesnt mean D5500 built quality not good) but with all those D7100 is much heavier than the D5500 also (D5500 much much lighter).

D7100 has 15 cross type auto focus and 6fps compare to 9 cross type focus and 5fps in D5500 (but u take milky way and street, so i think that wont bother much. it will be significant if you're into action/sport photography)

D7100 also comes with dual slot storage while D5500 only single slot (i think this wouldnt bother you much also, great for event/wedding who needs additional backup if single card goes wrong)

search some article online, go to some shop/roadshow and have a test of both cameras yourself.

just my opinion. smile.gif
