[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 606568, member: 25095"] So, the other data point so that you have my whole experience. I initially bought the D5300 over the D7100 because of two features that I thought were deal killers: wifi and GPS. In practical use, however, neither performed as I anticipated and became non-features. The GPS typically did not lock location often enough to effectively geo-tag images, and the wifi functionality was less than ideal. I believe they've done away with the GPS functionality in the D5500, and for that matter, the wifi functionality has been changed/improved as well. I started building a list of features that I needed that the D5300 could not provide, and made the change to the D7100 about a year later. Now, I was getting more serious with my photography, and that's why those features became important, but the D5300 is no slouch either. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
