I considered the D3300 as well but again very slight changes over the D3200 if my distractedly performed research is correct (I will check again to be certain). I could purchase the D3300 as a kit and get both 18-55 and 55-200 VR lens but I never really found myself using the 55-200 much, and I would pay ~$50 less for the D5200 with just an 18-55 VR lens or ~$50 more for a D3300 with only an 18-55 VR lens, not that that is a very big difference in price nor is it a difference I couldn't handle. I want to ignore price +/- $50 because I don't want to let that influence my decision. On the other hand I know that I won't be with the 18-55 VR lens very long because as my skills increase I will upgrade the lens.I have looked at the Canon T5i vs the Nikon D5200, and after watching some reviews I'm leaning more towards the D5200. My decision will ultimately be made by playing with the D3300 (though it is not a strong candidate), the D5200 and Canon T5i tomorrow as well as talking with experts at a camera shop near me to gain more insight.</blockquote>
