The difference between models is more to do with extra features and ruggedness than with image IQ. The latest generation - D3300/D5300/D7100 have better sensors and better processor compared to D3200/D5200/D7000, so your images are sharper and higher ISO performance better, and in some cases the video and burst rate faster.The D3300 with its kit lense is a great buy for beginners. Add the 35mm F1.8 DX and you can take care of most shooting scenarios, except where you require longer reach.One advantage of starting with D3300 is that it has the IQ of the more expensive models, but no frills. The cost is quite low, so it you want top sell it off (either because you want to getting out of DLSR, or want better controls), you will not loose much. After all how much can you loose when selling a $500 camera.I have been using the D3300 for nearly 6 months. Yes there are features that I would love to have, but none of them are of overriding neccesity, I am doing pretty well without them. My son has a D300, so if features are needed I can always use it. But its weight and too many controls (now that I am used to D3300) are irritating. That I love the D3300 is evident from the fact that I have crossed 11,000 shots in less than 6 months.I personally feel that the upgrade from D3300 is FX body and not a high end DX, as the FX bodies have most of what the high end DX bodies have and they have full size sensor, useful when you need wider perspective.</blockquote>
