[QUOTE="z3r0, post: 414967, member: 37396"] Greetings! Need to do some -decent- low light video in a couple months, and after researching middle of the road consumer camcorders I've come to the realization that unless I'm spending $2500+ I'm just as well off buying an entry level DSLR. This is fine with me since my old Rebel (yes, I know...Don't hate me!) needs upgraded anyways! Anyways, I'm trying my damnedest to stay under the $1k mark which I understand is going to limit me a lot) Wish I had more cash for this but I simply don't (I'm getting married and holy crap everything costs so much!). Anyways, I HAVE done a lot of research online, so at least I'm not coming to ya'll cold but I'm confusing myself and I'd really more or less just like a second fresh pair of eyes... So my plan was either a D5300 or a D3300 with a Nikkor 50mm AF-S F/1.8G lens. My questions: For the ~ $200 bucks between the 5300/3300 What am I really gaining other than GPS, a flippy screen and anti-aliasing? Is there anything spectacularly different when it comes to the potential video quality? If there ISN'T enough of a difference to justify upgrading the 3300 to a 5300 for the extra $200, is there a lens in the range from the price of the Nikkor 50mm listed above that I could invest that additional money into to get better results for my desired purpose? (Cliffs, should I spend the $200 extra to get the 5300, or spend $200 more on a slightly better lens...?) Also, if any of you fine ladies and gentlemen have a BETTER suggestion for low light video than what I've mentioned above, keeping my craptastic budget in mind, please, please do share! Thanks a million! [/QUOTE]
