[QUOTE="aroy, post: 359081, member: 16090"] Where D5200 scores is in swivel screen and GPS/WiFi. IQ wise D3300/D5300 are much better. Also consider that my D3300 battery lasts around 350 shots instead of stated 500+, but that may be due to heavy use of flash and full screen brightness. D3300 has slightly better colour gamut compared to D5300. Any way I would rarely give battery life much weightage (unless it is dismal, as in mirror less bodies), as a spare battery is not only inexpensive, but add redundancy. Why I got D3300 is because . It was the lightest camera with kit18-55 . It has great DR . It shoots HD video at 60p (though I do not need video) I still feel that if you want a rugged DX body with all the Gizmos, a D7100 is the way to go. Why - here is what D3xxx and D5xxx are missing . In body motor. This opens up a vast selection of the older (but equally excellent) "D" lenses . Metering with older AI/AIS lenses . 2 card slots . More rugged body . Better DR [/QUOTE]
