        Hello, if you are a beginner to DSLR photography, i think that you should start with Nikon D3300, because it is small, easy to use, cheap, compared to Nikon D5200. good luck

        Hi, I'm having trouble deciding between the d3300 and d3200. I know that the d3300 is the better choice, but have found better deals in terms of the d3200. I will be using the camera whilst travelling. Would you suggest paying more for that d3300 or would d3200 be as useful. Essentially I want to know is there a HUGE difference

        D5500 is little upgrade

        which one did you get? I am also confused between the two, retailers recommend A-58 but people who are professional photographers refused for Sony and recommended Nikon

        but when i am going to buy that product,there i found - ISO in Steps of 1 EV (200 - 6400), 1 EV above ISO (12800 Equivalent)....i can not understand that mean,,,please help mine with details,so that i can understood in easy way.

        i am a new guy in this world,,,,

        in my mind, D3300 FTW :D and upgrade to another Body with motor if there is excess money :D maybe D7000 or D7100 sounds good ^_^

        Also, please check the comparison on snapsort , it will give you more other differences.
         
        MMK (7:00 AM, August 24, 2014)
        After I searched Google, the difference between 5300 and 3300 is the Auto bracketing feature in D5300 vs manual bracketing in 3300 , and the HDR mode in 5300 vs the Panorama mode in D3300. Also there are other extra physical features like GPS/WIFI/Flip out screen in 5300. They write also that 3300 is slightly lighter (about 50 g).
        So you have to decide which feature is more important to your needs in order to select from them

        D5300 is better than D3300 for sure but for a first time DSLR buyer, D3300 will suit better. Sony is aggressively marketing their product but they are nowhere near Nikon quality. A pair of different Nokor lenses with D3300 will enhance the capability of photographer and this is a more wise option to invest than on an expensive pro body. Also you can buy a tripod with ball head that will help you to take slow shutter speed photos.

        Gricce (4:48 AM, June 30, 2014)
        I'm also deciding between d3300 or d5200. I've also been recommended the canon rebel. I'm new at dslr. I want for quality pics of kids, hubby wants to use for high quality pics of his fine art & videos to post all on his website. Recommendations & why?? Thanks in advance!

        D5300 has quite better image quality, and you will literally say that when you compare both. That said, if you are still on a learning spree, better invest the difference in some lenses, later you might want to upgrade to a much better one directly.
        If you are buying as an enthusiast who knows pretty much about photography and you don't plan to buy a mid or pro level camera anytime soon, then buy D5300.
