Which DSLR?

I know nothing about canons so if you're open or considering switching brands I'd highly recommend the Nikon D5300 or D7000. I just bought the D5300 for my wife and I prefer it over my D300, it's amazing how easy it is to get really good pictures right off the camera and with built in wifi and gps on such a small body it's much more practical as well. The D7000 is a bit more advanced but doesn't have the wifi or gps built in. I'd avoid a full frame body unless you're looking to shoot more professional, you need full frame lenses to match which are significantly more expensive.

I was thinking of looking at the Nikons, but I remembered I also have a fancy external flash I bought for my Canon that should still work with newer Canon models. I would hate to have to buy another one of those as well. From what I have read, Nikon is pushing past Canon recently in performance.
