[QUOTE="RobV, post: 543219, member: 40570"] I bought a refurbished D5300 from Adorama with the kit lens for $449. I thought it was a pretty good price. It only has a little over 200 actuations on it, and is very clean. I miss the D610 that I had to sell, but I am hopelessly hooked on having a decent camera. I know the GPS is not supposed to be accurate, but I'll see. That, the pivoting display (I really missed that while shooting pictures of the moon with the D610) and the affordable price had me hooked. And the FX telephotos that I did not sell are now that much more powerful. I enjoyed having the built-in focus motor, and the 2nd control dial, but for my level of expertise (low), I will do OK. The 610 was [I]real[/I] heavy, compared to the D5200 that I started with, and gave to my step-son for Christmas. I don't mind that "mistake", it put a HUGE smile on his face! I considered getting just a D5300 body for less than $400, but I wasn't sure when I would be able to come up with the money for the 35mm lens. At least this way, I can take pictures. I'm just glad to be back. [/QUOTE]
