[QUOTE="GSXR_Rider, post: 465336, member: 27302"] Just wanted to offer a summation of sorts and bring up some last minute thoughts I'm having... - There is a chance that the issue I was having with the D3200 kit lens could have been related to the surroundings in which I was shooting or improper settings in that environment. When I initially complained to the experienced camera sales associate at BestBuy he pointed me towards lack of light being the cause of focus hunting and the subsequent clicking sound. At this point in time it is too late for me to use another lens for an extensive test as BestBuy has my D3200 and I now have a D5300. - Did I make a bad decision going with the D5300 over the D5200? Perhaps, part of which is attributed to being uncomfortable paying the difference. Additionally, I am now finding threads about back and front focusing issues with the D5300 though I have still to understand what this means. (EDIT: [I]This has been pointed out to me by another forum member, Horoscope Fish, as not being an issue with this camera[/I]) - My D3200 was a kit that included the 18-55 and 55-200 NON VR lenses, my D5300 only comes with the 18-55 VR lens. So part of my thinking in retrospect tells me paying more for less isn't right even though I really only used the 55-200 for one occasion where I favored it over the 18-55 due to the distance of the subject I was shooting (a gradation ceremony) and that this camera is a newer model than what I previously had. So this may be an irrelevant point. - Another thing that makes me wonder if I made the right decision is the fact that I essentially lost all the money for the warranty on the first camera, so its as if I paid more for the first camera than the price I had price matched it to. This may also be an irrelevant point. Suffice it to say some of my thoughts may be irrelevant, which I apologize for. But I do want to thank everyone who replied and assisted me with this D3200 and the issues I was having. [/QUOTE]
