As in, no need for you to "upgrade" to the D5300 over the D5200, in my opinion. The jump from D80 to D5200 is going to be huge and in all the ways that *actually* matter. Things like the CMOS sensor, better color depth, far more focus points, better dynamic range... Going from D5200 to D5300 the differences minor and less applicable, I think, to what you actually need based on what you've posted.The main reason the D5300 is more expensive is the addition of the built-in GPS (which I hear is dodgy anyway) and WiFi. From reading your post neither of those options sound practical, much less necessary, for you. I'd suggest you get the D5200 and with the money you save get decent hot-shoe mounted flash or a really good prime lens....</blockquote>
