[QUOTE="ChipThome, post: 288667, member: 23611"] This morning the mailman dropped the D3300 that I ended up with from ebay. The lady seller was keeping the new 18-55 lens and sold me the rest of the kit. The color is gray which I kinda like. Shutter count tonight is 882. First impression as I took the body out of the box was it felt really light and had a weight almost like a toy camera might have. I weighed it and my D5200 both as bare bodies with no batteries. The D3300 comes in at 4 ounces less, 14.2 vs. 18.2. The battery door and the latch for that door don't feel nor function like I would expect from Nikon. I find myself having to latch the battery door instead of it latching itself once it's closed. I tried picking a white balance from the list of settings available and none seemed to get as close as Auto White Balance did. There are no Kelvin settings for a custom White Balance. I miss that from my D5200 and other cameras I have had. Unlike the D5200 if you select RAW+Fine for your picture quality setting, the option to select image size gets grayed out. You are then stuck with large 6000X4000 JPEG images which are about 13mb each. That's all I got to so far. Will update as the investigation continues. [/QUOTE]
