Ive been debating between the d3300, 5200 & 5300. Only major diff is price. which do i get?

i own both D3300 and D5300. they both have the same sensor but the d5300 comes with the optical low pass filter (sharper pics), gps and built in wifi. The d5300 also is bundled with a superior lens. you wouldnt waste your money on a D3300 but the added features of 5300 are very useful.

I like the D3300 as it has all the features I want for an economical price... The Built-in Wi-Fi, swiveling vari-angle LCD and GPS are not important to me...

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

The 5200 adds the swiveling LCD to the 3300. The 5300 adds built-in Wi-Fi and GPS to the 5200. Wi-Fi can be added to the 3300 and 5200 with an adapter. Otherwise, from what I can see, the other specs are the same. But on bundles, be careful to choose ones with the VR zoom lens, it should reduce blur.

I'm a complete photo novice and the pictures I am taking w the 3300 are outstanding.

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.

I Have upgraded from D300. I find the D=600 to be a good camera with full frame capability which is what I wanted to get. I would recommend it.

The main difference is speed and light sensitivity. The wait is shorter with the D4s. Quality seems the same

For the D50 and D90 I'm partial to the 28-200. Got three from Tamron and one from Sigma and all were under $100 on Ebay. They AF quickly and are razorsharp. Most were bought attached to a cheapo camera like an N60 or a N2020.

The only difference that I know is the 5200 is a little better, not by much you may get an additional 5 min longer run time on the battery. Hope that helps

I'm an armature photographer.. but have explored both d3100 and a33.. 1) similar image quality.. 2) both do 1080p HD video with auto focus but sony gets a bit warm (hot for some) while video recording.. although I've yet to record for this long 3) sony is a tiny bit smaller.. check out their detailed reviews at dpreview.com.. they helped me make my decision..

I don't think it is a concern. I am an amateur photographer. I have had the D5100 for about 8 years and now the D5300 as well. Barring a rain storm I have taken the D5100 in all kinds of environments without a problem.

Here are a couple of reviews that might help. I am torn on the same decision (though leaning toward the 520). I'd be interested to know what you decide and why.http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Olympus-E-520http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/olympus/e520-review/index.shtml

at least one big difference is the HDMI switching. 6200 is the winner hands down. 5200 is pass through without sound as I understand it.

Thanks for the info on the e-520 I was thinking about getting a back up camera and was going to get the 520. I will stay with the 510 since it has given me absolutely beautiful pictures. I have the 14-54 on my camera 80 percent of the time and it is a great combo, along with the fl-36 flash. I will be getting the 11-22 zuiko lens next.

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.

depends what you are planning to do, but i would get the 5d because it is more compact and should not be any worse, being much newer. The 1ds is fully professional, so surely not bad either.

Well I can't tell you what to purchase BUT I can tell you how I arrived at the decision to buy my Nikon D5200. I made a big list. First I listed the things that I wanted on my camera and the things I wanted to do with it. Next I listed the different cameras that I was interested in and what they would do, out of the box, and what they could do with add-on (accessories). Finally I put the price of each different camera on to my list. Now the hard part. Deciding which camera gave me the most from my list. I chose the Nikon based on my needs and wants. I would also suggest you go to your local Best Buy and camera shop and look at and try each of the cameras you are interested in. Look for package or kit deals as they will save you $. I am very happy with my D5200 but just so you are aware, Nikon has come out with a D5300 which has a couple of added features over the D5200. Good Luck

I own both. Bought one of first 18-200s made in Japan to go with my first dslr: D50 that I got for a trip to the Bahamas. Have wonderful images I still enjoy. Now have lightweight D5000 and super D7000. Bought 18-140 for light weight to hike w/D5000. Use 28-200 w/D7000 otherwise. Both focus quickly, iq is similar. Both have VR but 200 has active mode for shooting while moving, which I love. So 140 wins on weight, price, while 200 adds focal length and versatile VR.

I've got the a55 and my brother has the D5100....Both are great. Video is tons better on the a55.

Is the 18-105 worth buying over the 18-55mm any day. Especially you going to use with D5200. If you more money why not go for 18-200mm VRII or 18-300mm VRII. They are all around lenses. Good luck!
