Agree with Eric, but consider a D200 or D300 if you decide to stay with DX.

FX are still relatively expensive, D200's as going for peanuts because everybody is chasing the pixel count. I have used the D3100, I currently have a D3300 which is a handy little camera but even my 14 year old son appreciates my D300S and once he has claimed it while we are out, I have a job prying it out of his hands.

He has gaffer taped the pop up flash on the D3300 to stop it popping up all the time, darned nuisance, taking a photograph of a mountain in the distance and the wretched flash pops up! NOT any more.

The D200/300 are still very good cameras, capable of excellent results. Much easier to use and more robust, better features like intervalometer for time-lapse and easier exposure composition and bracketing. All things which can improve your scope, your creativity and improve your images.
