What is the big diference to buy D5300 instead the D7100. The 5300 has a 4x procesor and better video. Wifi and Gps included. D7100 $350 more for what

You can go to the Nikon website and do a side by side comparison of both models.

If you can handle manual control, and don't mind minor layout inconveniences, I can't think of any reasons to get 7100 over 5300. With manual control and the right lenses you can do everything 7100 can, and then some.

Pentaprism vs pentamirror. D7100 has better viewfinder. That's important as the viewfinder is used (almost) every time one takes a photo.

Mostly dedicated buttons for manual stuff that's deeper in the 5300's menu's. More rugged.. 2 memory card slots... Quality photo's are the same but D7100 is more for pro's.. http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/d7100.htm#compared

One thing that many people underestimate is the fact that the D7x00 series has an internal focus motor and the D5x00 series does not. When you go to buy lenses, the D7100 can autofocus with TWO DECADES worth of Nikon lenses, many of which are of higher quality and lower cost than the newer lenses that the D5300 would require in order to autofocus. This difference alone would pay for itself after one or two lenses. I am an owner of the D5100 and this is my biggest regret (probably my only regret) about owning it.

Yes, but if you're on a tight budget you should consider the D5300 for a lot less with the same sensor as the D7100. Both very good camera bodies. Also the D5300 has an articulating screen, which the D7100 does not.

Thanks I appreciate your input. My main reason for asking was because the price difference between them is only 100 bucks which wouldnt be too much in the long run. I can fully appreciate that the D3100 is more beginner friendly. I just don't want to regret spending an extra $100 once I become less of a beginner. The swivel out LCD seems like it could be useful. Maybe not, what do I know. Anyway, thanks for the input. I do appreciate it.

I'm thinking about buying new DSLR.. Nikon D3100 has been on top of the list and competing with Canon T3. Though, what matters to me is picture quality / colors / sharpness. I dont care much about video shooting as I can use my iphone when needed. My question is if anyone of you are professional photographer or has expirence dealing with both cameras.. which one would you buy? both are about at the same price. I need camera which can take nice outdoor pictures and perform better than point n shoot in low light (indoors).

I am in the same boat, XSi or D90. Right now, I am leaning towards the Xsi, for around $650 at Amazon, this is a big savings, the camera was $900 in April. I would like the video option, and I believe that the Nikon will provide better detail in low light. However, I still am having a hard time justifying the extra, almost $600. I could almost buy another Xsi for that difference. I am not sure that the price difference is justified.

Luan, Thanks for asking this question. OneHour, Good response.Personally, I am looking at the D610 as an eventual upgrade from a D5300. The one star reviews scared me a bit, but then I started reading them. A bunch are from D600 owners who have never even used the D610! Furthermore, reviews in photography forums indicate that the D610 does not suffer from the D600 oil spot problems that are the subject of the one-star reviews. Thus, I agree that the rating for the D610 would be higher if the fake reviews were removed.

I have looked at Snapshot's review and D5300 wins here: Low Noise at High ISO 1,284 (vs 1,385 D3300) | Great image quality 84.0 (vs 82.0 D3300) | Full HD 1080p @ 60fps (Both) | Great color depth 24.2 bits (vs 24.3 bits D3300) $497 vs $396(D3300 Advantages:Lower Noise / Larger viewfinder (0.55x vs 0.51x) / Longer battery life (700 vs 500 shots) / better maximum light sensitivity (12,800 vs 6,400 ISO) / LESS startup delay (400 vs 500ms) / Lighter (430g vs 555g) / Thinner (3" vs 3.1") Cheaper @ $396 vs $497LyubakaVideo is on YouTube and Instagram

I do not think this is too much camera for a beginner. There are excellent tutorials available to teach you how to use the camera. It is a wonderful model and I highly recommend it. I also looked at the 5200; however, I wanted a titanium body instead of plastic. The 5200 is very light and is a great camera. I wanted a higher quality of body and decided to go with the 7100. I have not been disappointed at all. Go ahead and spend the extra. You will not regret it. You are buying the best and it will provide a lifetime of memories through pictures.

Looking at the specifications for the D4 would indicate that there is little difference between the two camera except for the additional ISO speed of the S model. While I have not had any experience with the D4, I can say that the D4S has significant advantages over the D3S but doesn't seem to have the same advantages over the D4 in the way that the D3S had over the D3. Thus, upgrading to the D4S from the D4 appears to be a very subjective decision.

if money is no object , buy the d5300 , i had the d3200 and it was a great camera you can routinely make really nice 20-30 size pictures ,specially with the prime lenses like the 50mm 1.8g , i bought the d3300 because the new sensor is scarper and the new lens is really much more portable and last but not least the included lightroom 5 software was in a refubrished package deal, between the 5200 or the 3300 the 5200 with its swiveling screen might be more camera to grow into , how ever if you only are doing basic photograhy the the d3300 or d3200 are more then enough for any photografer

Chih, I have a D7100 myself, and it did not work. My suggestion is to pay a little more and buy the Amazon Basics version. It costs a little more, but it worked perfectly.

This isn't a full-frame camera. It's aps-h, 1.3x crop. And if you're shooting astro photography you should be looking into a Nikon d800 or a 5dmkii. This is a camera with 11-year old sensor technology. I bought one to shoot surfers with here in Hawaii broad daylight and I get noise (by modern standards) past about ISO400-500. This camera is great if you're looking for a cheaper 7d and you don't want video capabilities or a screen you can actually see. Don't get me wrong, it's a great camera, but its age definitely shows. I bought one in perfect shape with 42k actuations for $430 and not 3 months later I bought a 7d for $530. The extra money spent on a more modern camera is well-worth it.

We think you'll find the website snapsort.com helpful, it is a great way to compare any two camera models. They actually show that the D5200 is a slightly better camera, here's the link for their comparison:http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-D5200-vs-Nikon-D5300

Depends on what you need it for, if you are a professional who needs a high frames per second rate to shoot sports, etc., or you need a rugged camera you should go with the 7D, if you are an amateur who just shoots for their own memories, or sharing images, the T4i is great. It has the same sensor as the 7D, but the next generation processor, a really helpful tilt/swivel LCD, and lots easy to use automatic modes if you are just in a hurry. It has excellent image quality (I would recommend the 18-135 lens) and the video is great (although even my S95 has great video). I bought one for my wife and she is very happy with it. If you are sometimes not so sure about what aperture/shutter speed to use, I would 100% recommend the T4i because of all the presets that can help you out in a pinch. Hope this helps.

Well the D5100 cost more so it is a better camera. The main thing is the D5100 use the D7000 sensor, which is best in high ISO and lowlight over any other APS-C dslr (that include any canon like the T3i 60d, even 7D which all used the same old sensor). It has a swivel screen over the D3100. It is a little faster in continuous shooting at 4 fps vs 3 of the D3100, not really a big deal. Otherwise from the major reason here it is the same in a lot on most other specs.http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond5100/page22.asp

From what I can find, the 5310 is phasing out the 5300, and has only 2 major differences. One is for the usb connection, the 5300 supports only mp3 files, while the 5310 supports mp3 and jpg files. And two is the "MCI 120" feature of the 5300 has been removed from the newer 5310. (According to the LG website for the 5300, "MCI 120" is "MOTION CLARITY INDEX 120: LG's Motion Clarity Index (MCI) measures more than just the refresh rate to truly understand the ability to deliver clear, crisp images. MCI factors in refresh rate, our Triple XD Engine and backlight technology to better measure how well our TVs can display fast moving images like action movies, video games or sports." So it was probably deemed a not-so-meaningful feature and dropped to cut the price a bit. I guess one would have to see a side-by-side comparison to know for sure if that makes any difference to the tv picture, but high-action or motion scenes look normal to me on the 5310 without that feature.)

Get the D5300 or if you don't need wifi connectivity, the D5200. the image quality is incredible and the various shooting scenes will make for an easily transition from point and shoot to the world of DSLR.
