[QUOTE="rpoint16, post: 429057, member: 37882"] HA!!! I'm the guy two weeks ago with the first time DSL buyer question, D5200, D5300, D5500, D7100, D7200, Blah Blah BLah! SO I was sold on the D7200, that's it. gotta have it, going to get it. So I was leaning paying a tad more & buying it here in town, support the local business, etc... I went into browse last weekend just to check out the shop. Told the sales guy my story & what my needs were. He brought out the D5500 & D7100 to check out. Wow!! The the D5500 felt so much lighter, better, easier to toss around. For my activities, I see this compact body being more functional with the same quality pictures. SO... D5300 or D5500? Money is not an issue. But if there is not much difference... I went on DP preview. Looks like the D5500 has the touch screen & longer battery life. The D5300 has a built in GPS. Both have built in WIFI. Again my use; sailing, motocross, travel, minimal video. Probably buying the body & a 18-200 lens. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
