I too would suggest the D5300 over the D5500 since  you say you definitely don't want/need the touch screen. My girlfriend shoots with a D5300, and having seen what it can do over a period of almost exactly two years (it was a birthday present I got her) I've come to appreciate just how good a camera the D5300 is. I'd suggest you find a D5300, kitted with the 18-140mm zoom, and call it a day. That would be a superb starting combination for just about anyone. If you decide you want a bigger, badder zoom, come talk to us and we'll steer you in the right direction.</blockquote>
