YES IN 55-200 THERE IS STABILAIZATION BUT IN 18-55 THERE IS NO STABILAIZATION DUE TO REDUCE NOISE IN THE IME OF CONTINEOUS VIDEO SHOOTING.

I have been using the D90 for 5 years, looking to upgrade to a higher megapixel and was looking at the D5300, thoughts? I also looked at the D5200, I was wondering if it's worth upgrading other than just for the higher MP.

Even d5500 latest version don't have GPS and WiFi system, think... After downloaded thenikon wmu app for free, you can sync camera's pics on your android or apple fone you can control camera's menu from it and also use it as the remot of it . amazing!

In my opinion, this is a great and awesome camera, I bought it and I'm loving it even more, I'm truly amazed. Worth every penny! I also bought it with the new 18-140mm Lens. It's not just the GPS/Wi-Fi feature, it also has a better image processor (Expeed4) which makes this a very unique camera, having the 1080p 60p Video, among many other features! I definitely recommend this camera as an upgrade or as a beginner DSLR, you will agree with me after you take a few shots and get the hang of it!

IIRC no Nikon *bodies* feature image stabilization. Nikon places image stabilization in the lenses.

Waiting for good detailed review of this. Perhaps it is is not significantly better than D5200. Benefit of being filter-less may not be that discernible. Seems that it mostly adds convenience in form of Wifi and GPS for those who need it, and a small weight reduction.

So that should make D5200 a steal at the current prices. In fact I've been contemplating purchasing a D5200 to upgrade from my really old D60. I wish to listen from people who are considering purchasing D5300 and their specific reason for picking it over D5200. Also wish to know if prices of D5200 are expected to fall now that D5300 has launched?
