[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 338111, member: 23887"] A nice comparison of features between the two cameras is at [URL="http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-D5300-vs-Nikon-D7100"]snapsort[/URL]. I had a hard choice between the two cameras before I eventually decided to go for the D7100. My final reasoning was that it has more features (apart from the WiFI and GPS, which I'd love to have on my D7100) that I do not use right now, but they might come useful in the future. Adding to what other people said, I need to mention that the D5300 does not have the high-speed flash sync (AFP) and no commander mode in the built-in flash. I do mostly landscapes, so it does not matter at the moment, but I've been asked to do a wedding next year, so I will need to use Nikon CLS indoors and outdoors, and these features will come useful. In particular, shooting a portrait with a wide-open lens and a fill-in flash outdoors can be very hard without AFP. For me, a camera body is an investment for many years, so I'd rather pay more now, than regret skimping later. [/QUOTE]
