[QUOTE="Yoram, post: 829006, member: 55797"] Update: Received the AF-P 70-300mm FX lens and the D5600 body from MPB. Both in beautiful shape, the lens in its original box with the soft bag, and the camera with the manual, Nikon battery and charger etc. Performed a little test matrix of shutter releases: - each body with each lens (D5300 and D5600 x my 18-140mm and "new" 70-300mm). - each lens with VR on and off (new one Sport, Normal and off) - each lens at min and max zoom Did not look at captured images, just listening and watching the viewfinder. Conclusions: [B][I][USER=37799]@Needa[/USER] and [USER=24569]@Woodyg3[/USER] , you guys nailed it ![/I][/B] It's my 18-140 lens: with VR off there is no viewfinder image shift! With VR on there is also a slight "tick" sound in both lenses, about 2-3 seconds after shutter release, coinciding with the image shift in the 18-140mm lens. With VR off there no sound (and no shift) in either lens. This behavior is the same with either camera. I have a 14 day window to return the D5600 for full refund (over $400). I can also send them my D5300 instead for $190. I will spend another day or two exploring the D5600 to decide. So far I played a bit with the touchscreen and am not convinced it is a huge benefit over the "multi selector" (that's still there as in the D5300) -- too easy to fat-finger on the touchscreen. Will next check out the D5600 bluetooth as it may be handy for backup to my iPhone. I like the claimed longer battery life on the D5600. Overall, the cameras are very similar. Optical specs are identical (except for max ISO), which is what matters to me most. So far I am not convinced I need to "upgrade". There is also the sentimental value... the D5300 has traveled with us the world over for more than 10 years and gave us thousands of great photos to reminisce... Will post what I decide.
